-Her abandoned home-
A tiny, old fashioned plush lies on the floor of an abandoned home. Dust collected in every corner and cobweb. As light filters in from the single window with distressed curtains blowing in a soft breeze, every particle in the air is present with the soft glow of the morning sun. The dust swirls as you slowly open the door. It barely stays on its hinges while it swings open. After a quick look around only one thing catches your eye. While everything else is covered in dust the plush looks almost new.
You reach down and pick up the plush and turn it over inquisitively. You note how each stitch is heavy, most likely hand made. The shiny blue button eyes sparkle and shine as you run your finger over them. Every pattern on the tiny plush is soft as if made of fur. The plush itself is very heavy and feels very warm to your touch, most likely from sitting in the sun that leaked in from the window.
As you walk around the open room looking from each dust cloth covered chair and table your mind runs through different scenarios of what happened to the last people living here. You bring the plush closer to you clutching it in both hands against your chest. The warmth it is giving calms your nerves a bit. You breathe deep as you feel your body relax. You stop and look down at the plush in your hands studying it intently.
The warmth the plush is radiating is growing, you can feel it. You quickly walk over to a dust covered table and set it down, almost dropping it. As you go to leave you look back once more. The blue button eyes are almost staring back at you asking you to stay. A shiver runs down your spine as you head for the door causing all the dust in the air to swirl and dance in the sunlight. With a final look back you quickly leave the house, your heart in your throat, fearing you may have experienced something not of this world.
