TOY CHEST

The toy box still sits against the wall, but now it radiates a sense of exhaustion. Dark stains seem to ooze from the top, and the sight chills you. Inside, you find Elsie’s stuffed bunny and the oracle board.


You pick up the stuffed animal, fighting the sting of unexpected tears as you realize how oddly hollow the bunny feels. You no longer feel the presence of Elsie, and the pocket watch has similarly vanished.
You gently remove the oracle board from the chest again. The warmth of the board is all the warning you get before you’re struck by the angry scorch marks marring the surface.
