Chapter 64 - Teddy

The sounds of children screaming, jolts me awake.

What am I lying on? It's so hard, and uncomfortable. It's like a hard stone floor.

Why on earth am I lying here?

And what's with this giant slab of stained white timber on top of me?

I raise my arms, and push against the floor, to sit up, my hands are soft, and can barely supports me, as I get up.

Goodness me!

What is this?

I want to scream, but not a single sound comes out.

I'm naked.

Why am I not wearing anything?

And to make it worse.

My arms, my hands, my legs and my feet are mouldy green colour.

It's hairy, oh de…SMACK!

A giant foot kicks me out, and that's when it hits me.

I catch a glimpse of myself, in the small shattered glass on the floor, it's Teddy.

What year is it?

I wish they had a giant clock here, and year and date as well.

It would be awesome to know where I am now.

The fact is that I am in my old teddy bear, gosh it must have been ages since this bear was lying here, I mean it use to be brown and now it's covered with dirt, with mould all over it.

Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore, I feel a strong pulse rushing into my body, and a connection.

With the boy wearing specs, and dressed like a mad scientist. How I hate them.

Why is he rushing down the aisle, and to make it worse, his travelling straight towards those god forsaken spying statues.

It must have been him who brought me back to life. And I feel that I owe it to him. I am going to give him my…
