[ WP ] An inanimate object comes to life at the worst possible moment

As Cassandra began to stir, she did n't quite understand where she was or what was happening. Shaking her groggy head, she felt a sudden chill. She looked down and found, to her horror, that she'd been stripped naked. She felt confused and violated, and the gravity of the situation had imbued her with a healthy sense of fear. 
 
 She stood up and surveyed her surroundings. Her horror deepened as she saw her many colleagues strewn about her, in various states of undress and dismemberment. She vomited slightly, and attempted to compose herself. What the hell happened here, she wondered, as she went to tend to some of the wounded. 
 
 Suddenly, a shadow loomed. Snapshots of terrible acts flooded back to Cassandra as she remembered what had happened. The giant had come through like a hurricane, destroying whatever it found with a chilling sense of glee and recklessness; it had now returned to inflict more carnage. 
 
 She went limp and played dead in hopes that the fearsome beast would ignore her; it was too late for many of her colleagues, but maybe, just maybe, if she could survive, she could help someone. 
 
 She had no such luck, as the giant went straight for her, engulfing her with it's enormous mitt and lifting her high off the ground. 
 
 `` I want to play with Cassie!'' said the little girl as she grabbed a dark-haired doll and a dripping wet paint brush.
