• I am relaxing in my pitch-black room, listening to the staticky radio, when i hear a knock on my door. It's barely a tap, and i'm surprised I even hear it. "Whaddya want?" I yell at the door. When there is no answer, I stomp to the door, shouting "Listen you little freak! I dont know whether or not you can read, but the sign says 'Stay out!' So, if you dont mind-" I open the door to a blinding white light. I cover my eyes and stumble backwards, and fall onto a pile of beanie babies and stuffed dolls with frilly skirts and dresses. I look around in horror at the scene I've landed in. The all-too-familiar baby pink and blue walls, the shelves stacked with dollies and blankies and that stupid radio that plays all those baby songs over and over and over. I've landed in the daycare my dissmissive parents stuck me in before they died (good riddance).
    Suddenly, the color from the walls melts off and wraps around me like a somehow cushy, soft cape, with the blue forming the main part and the pink forming the tassels. Then, the stuffed animals and dolls start creeping toward me, saying things like "Can I have a hug?" "I love you!" and "you're my bestest freind!" I start screaming and try to pull away, but I cant move. They still creep toward me, arms spread, and they all give me a huge hug. I scream, and...
    And i wake up still screaming. Telling myself it was just a dream, I turn on my dim lamp, and freak when the light gets brighter and brighter and brighter. I fall off my bed... and into a pile of beanie babies and stuffed dolls with frilly skirts and dresses...
