Prompt: 069. teddy bear<\/h1>\n

1. The four-year-old wailed with all of the despair of someone that had lost a lifelong friend. Clutched in sweaty hands was the decapitated head of a teddy bear that was missing one plastic eye.<\/h2>\n

A. The four-year-old wailed with all of the despair of someone that had lost a lifelong friend. Clutched in sweaty hands was the decapitated head of a teddy bear that was missing one plastic eye. The body was spread out across the lawn behind him, torn fabric and stuffing everywhere.<\/p>\n

“Oh no. What happened?”<\/p>\n

“My bear! My bear! He’s dead<\/em>!”<\/p>\n

2. The nanny robot was called a “teddy bear” and served the purpose of comfort and confidante to its human owner.<\/h2>\n

A. The nanny robot was called a “teddy bear” and served the purpose of comfort and confidante to its human owner. Programmed with thousands of scripted responses to every conceivable situation and able to adapt to its human’s needs, the nanny bot grew with the human child.<\/p>\n

By the time the human was ten-years-old, Teddy had expanded from two-feet-tall to just over five feet, remaining a few inches taller than its charge. It was able to provide a thorough grounding in both philosophy and fun, molding the child’s mind to the standards set by the parents.<\/p>\n

3. The last thing she expected to find in the rubble was an intact teddy bear, but there it was. Fuzzy and brown with expressive features formed out of thread.<\/h2>\n

A. The last thing she expected to find in the rubble was an intact teddy bear, but there it was. Fuzzy and brown with expressive features formed out of thread. A child’s plaything had survived the end of the world when its owner had not.<\/p>\n

She stuffed the bear in her pack and moved on, nearly forgetting that she was carrying it until two nights later when she was searching for something else. And then, crouched next to her campfire, she pulled the bear out of her pack and clutched it to her chest as she cried. She’d felt tired and helpless for too long.<\/p>\n
