my first one is a small spooky story named TEDdY.
Teddy bears
Brown and fluffy
Childhood friends
And monster hunters
Forest beasts as a powerful shield
Against the dark forces of the shadowy monsters
Thrown on the floor by night- and hallway- lights
Doors half open revealing demons in and on closets and cabinets
In corners and in the form of other objects of whom you wouldn’t suspect them to be
Ready and waiting in the dark until you close your eyes, falling asleep, getting to tired from waiting and watching and fearing but then there is one who hasn’t left you yet.
Holding him tight because you hear footsteps, no, no footsteps
You hear a silent foot touching the floor, closing in to you
Sneaking up to you.
Suddenly you hear nothing
Your door starts to squeak.
It moves a little bit
Not much, but you can see it.
You cover your head with your sheets,
And you hold teddy even tighter then ever.
Your sweating and you close your eyes.
You say to yourself;
I have to do something
You give your teddy a kiss, like your saying goodbye to him
And you reach out to your bedside table
And you feel where the light switch is.
Your holding the switch in your hand,
Your palm is sweaty, though your arm feels cool.
You prepare yourself for the confrontation
You take a deep breath and while you turn on the light, you jump out of your bed with teddy as your shield and weapon.
You run to the big light switch next to the door and use teddy as a extension of your arm to push the switch even faster.
You are standing in the middle of your room now.
With teddy in your arms
Sweaty, but relieved.
You scared away the monster
You give teddy a kiss and go back to bed.
Suddenly you hear footsteps…..
