That’s what you’re supposed to do with old toys. If they’re broken you get new ones.


This was something! 

i really understand why people keep saying this is extremely creepy and utterly strange but compellingly horrific. 

i give full props to the author for writing an entire horror story that leaves everything open gives no explanation but makes it work! 

he writes all kinds of horror tropes into this but gives them a bit of a spin, enough to makes this different enough to not tell the reader where it going. 

for a very simplistic and very short story the author really managed to pack everything you need to write a memorable horror.

also ending this as creepily as it began? Full marks for that!

if you want something quick but unforgettable and just the right amount of horror to be creeped out but enjoy yourself at the same time? 
go for it!
