{ EU } There are foster homes for imaginary friends and even teen created monsters . But what the public does n't know is that there 's a high security facility that contains the nightmarish imaginations of the schizophrenic and the mentally ill .

Tom set down the file open-faced on his desk and breathed a deep sigh out his nose. The folder contained a brief of Case 371-A, detailing the breach of the creature known as “ Razz ”. Tom ’ s eyes scanned the page to the bottom, where the damages were summarized. Five imaginary residents were found dead, and several were still missing. 
 
 “ Well, that ’ s disturbing. How in the hell did this happen? ” 
 
 Greg Manslow, Manager of Placement, stood in front of the desk, hands folded. 
 “ Well, sir, ” he began his explanation, “ we believe this Razz underwent an overnight transformation. He ’ s been a peaceful member of Residential District 41 for eight years. You will find the briefing contains a summary of his behavior over those eight years. His most recent evaluation was just two months ago. Not a single evaluation showed any indication of him turning Nightmare. However… ” for a moment, his eyes moved to the floor, “ our most recent investigation of his Creator is…troubling. ” 
 
 Tom went to his briefing again, sifting through pages until he found the document labeled “ Randy Kravitz ”. The report on the thirteen year-old summarized the investigation on the teen. Tom scrutinized every detail. When he was finished, he set he face down in the palms of his hands. 
 
 “ How many times have I warned the Stability Division to more closely keep tabs on creators with family issues? ” he asked no one in particular. “ Nearly half the time a negative indicator is discovered in the Friend Evaluation, it ’ s because of the Creator. Imagined beings can change forms and behavior on the drop of a dime, that ’ s just how imagination works. But when the change is this bad, it ’ s always because of something the Creator is going through. If we could better predict changes in the creatures by closely monitoring their Creators, things like this wouldn ’ t happen. ” 
 
 Tom took a few moments to consider the situation. “ Where is this “ Razz ” now? ” he asked. 
 
 “ It ’ s being contained in Facility Nine, sir, in the Black Section. ” 
 
 “ What?!?! ” he shot up out of his chair. 
 
 Greg continued, “ The Board is considering their options in how best to prevent further damage. Obviously, he can not be moved back to District 41. A relocation to another district after rehabilitation seems also unlikely, although that would be your expertise. However, the Board seems to believe that the immediate severance and erasure of Razz would be in the best interest for young Randy. ” 
 
 Tom was outraged. Apparently, the Board gave no thought to including him in this decision. As the Rehabilitation and Re-stabilizing Specialist for Facility Nine, Tom often fielded cases of imagined creatures turned nightmare. For eleven years, he had turned monsters and apparitions back into peaceful or at least neutral creations. 
 
 “ This…is…ridiculous, ” he barely spat out the words. “ Why on earth do they think that will help the kid? Prevent things from getting things worse? Maybe. But what he needs now, more than anything, is his oldest companion to be with him. ” 
 
 “ I know, Tom. That ’ s why I brought this to you. I thought you ’ d want a say. But you should know that their going to finalize their decision today. You know how they are; they ’ ll do just about anything to cover their ass. ” 
 
 Tom gave him a look rebuking him for his choice of words, but couldn ’ t find it in himself to disagree with them. Ever since the federal government decided to take a more involved role in Board decisions, less thought was being given to the well-being of the imagined creatures, all under the guise of protecting their creators. But Tom knew that these creations of imagination were often made to fill something that was missing from the lives of their makers. Thoughtlessly destroying them, without their creators knowing why they disappeared, could have potentially devastating effects if those gaps weren ’ t filled. 
 
 Tom looked at the file, and sighed once more. This would likely cost him his job, but he no longer could he sit by while another creature was cut out of existence by Facility 9.
