[ WP ] `` Hey , remember me ? We used to be friends ! Well , you told yourself and everyone that I was 'imaginary ' ... Well , how have you been ? ''

`` Hey, remember me?'' 
 
 I felt a weird sense of recognition, sitting in my sofa, the T.V muted. A brief feeling of nostalgia washed over me as I tried to locate where it came from. `` Hey, do n't tell me you've forgotten me. We used to be friends!'' The voice seemed to be coming closer and had a weird quality to it, as if it was rusty. I twisted in my seat in a futile attempt to find it. 
 
 Slowly, I heard something shifting underneath my couch. A shadow seemed to be pulling itself from underneath, inching out from the cramped sofa. At this point, a cold terror began to wash over me, pinning me to my seat. The shadow *unfolded* itself and once it came into the dim light of the living room bulb, I noticed it was no shadow at all. It was a child, perfectly normal, except for the fact it had buttons for eyes. It's features felt *wrong*, as if they had been though up by a lonely, unimaginative kid. It smiled happily at me. 
 
 `` We used to be such good friends,'' the creature pouted. `` But then you forgot about me,'' it said softly, and I felt ice through my heart. But then the monster's eyes widened and it flashed me another wide grin, trying to make me forget. `` You were a bad boy but that does n't mean we ca n't still be friends!'' it laughed in a sing-song trill. I felt a dash of hope. If I could please it enough, perhaps it would leave me and return to the nightmare world it crawled from. 
 
 `` Y-Yeah,'' I spoke, my voice shaken with fear. The creature smiled even wider but then it's face went smooth. 
 
 `` But bad boys have to be punished and you were a very bad boy.'' Hope fled from my body, leaving more space for fear. 
 
 `` P-p-please!'' I whimpered, near tears. The monster replied with a dark, dark smile and in it's hands were some string, needles and two buttons.
