Prompt: 068. stuffed animal comes to life<\/h1>\n

1. It was the eyes she noticed first–they looked so alive<\/em> and real<\/em>–followed by the changed texture of the fur under her hands.<\/h2>\n

A. It was the eyes she noticed first–they looked so alive<\/em> and real<\/em>–followed by the changed texture of the fur under her hands. It was when the furry chest expanded with a breath that she began screaming and threw the thing as far away from her as she could.<\/p>\n

Even before it rolled over to get its stumpy legs under it, she was already running as fast as she could back down the hallway. She’d seen enough movies featuring possessed toys to know that she didn’t want anything to do with it or its murderous plans.<\/p>\n

A. The day the stuffed animals came to life was a day no one was ever going to forget. It changed the world forever. And not just because of the stories they had to share about their previous owners.<\/p>\n

A. The spirit that entered the stuffed animal was a glowing flame of Living Energy. The button eyes blinked and opened as real eyes in a fabric face.<\/p>\n

“Hello,” the spirit said, the voice high-pitched and seemingly very young. “Why have you bound me to this form?”<\/p>\n

“I have a task for you, spirit. There’s someone that needs to be punished.”<\/p>\n
