The Music Box

"It's been so long," she mutters as she sits alone in the Prize Corner. I want to tell her I'm okay. But I'm not okay.
I'M A MONSTER.
She has something in her hands. I think it's one of my old toys. It's shiny silver. It's my old cowboy pistol. I used to pretend to shoot her with it all the time, she would laugh and smile and hug me.
SHE WON'T HUG ME NOW, I'M UNLOVABLE
How did she get in After-Hours? Maybe she got in as a Night Guard. No, the Night Guard stays in the Office. She must've hidden well at closing time. I notice that my toy is shinier. Maybe it's because my new eyes are weaker to light.
THE OLD ME IS DEAD.
She jumps when she hears the Music Box. It comes on when the Marionette activates. No one is in her yet. She is just a robot. I think.
A THING FROM HELL IS ME
After realizing it was nothing, she lifts my toy to her face. I realize it's not a toy. She's killing herself.
SUICIDE BECAUSE I LEFT HER
There are loud noises, and she falls over. I wait. The puppet starts moving again. Her actions are less robotic. I know what has happened. The Puppet has someone now.
SHE IS A MONSTER TOO
I don't want her to be the Puppet. It's sad for me. I cry blood. I do not know why or how.
BLOOD FROM THE ONES I KILLED
How long has it been since I was a human... I don't remember. The Puppet looks around, but as the Music Box comes on again, she seems to fall asleep. Maybe, one day, I will tell her what's going on. She is probably so confused...
IT'S ME
But the Music Box will keep her from hurting anyone. She will stay innocent.
I AM NOT INNOCENT, I AM A MURDERER
I hope..
But...
