...9...8...7...
Oh, how I remember those days of the past so well. Laughter, smiles-pure happiness. But, alas, that was the time when I was still "innocent", "pure"..."oblivious", to...reality. Look at me now. What am I exactly? ...Who am I? I give up. I don't know anymore. Especially since...that "incident".
Since that day when you, the person whom I called trusted enough to call "friend", you, found another and then cast me aside-like the toy I was.
...Fool.
To bad you didn't realize that after that day...when you abandoned me...slowly, the demon inside me...began to engulf first my body-my mind and personality following soon after...taking upon me...a new form.
Remember what I looked liked before? That adorable plush body you would always squeeze? It became demented, hollow, soulless. What about those endearing button eyes that shone with glee? They glow red with hate for you. How about that seemingly eternal smile stitched upon my face? Gone. It has zipped shut with misery. Quite literally.
...6...5...4...
And to think this could have been prevented if...you only cared.
...Oh well. At least this taught me a lesson of the true nature of the "ultimate" race. Humans. Nothing but liars. Teases. Far colder than the alleys I currently reside in.
Still, like an idiot, I cannot help but...reminisce. From the way you would always clutch onto me when you cried, to the way you smiled gently and and say "I love you".
...Hah. And to think I was stupid and naive enough to believe in those now venomous words like "love" and "happiness". But I was back then.
At least, up until the day when your parents gave you that...thing. I remember the way your greedy paws scooped it up and treated it as though it were...me. Thinking it was a passing phase, I just watched, as a bystander, alone, an unknown feeling residing in me. Before I knew it, I learned of jealousy as my body gathered cobwebs and dust in a corner for who knows how long, until, finally, you came back.
I was so happy again. Then I saw you face. It was blank, your eyes unreadable. You then snatched me like a mere rag doll...then adding insult to injury, threw me into the dumpster out back of what was "our" home. As soon as your cruel deed was done, you were gone, never once looking back.
Not even a glance.
All I could pitifully ask was "Why?"
Was I not good enough? Didn't you care? I didn't know anymore. But I did know this. You were gone.
Wait.
...Rather, you had done something far worse I realized. You had ABANDONED me. But one day, you were going to pay. For all the pain you caused my poor "heart".
Today was that day.
So now here I stand, before that...place I called home. The "Funhouse" I once thought I knew was full of nothing but empty truths and those clowns who claimed to "care".
Hah! Now look who's laughing! Unfortunately for them I know better than that! I'm not the little puppet that they took me for anymore! Today it's their turn to pay!
...3...2...
With these words of bitterness, I snap my fingers, summoning wisps of blue. Though small, they will do. Only one thing left to do now...
Burn it. Until nothing is left.

As I stood among the flames of red, cries of pain about my being, I thought I...felt something for a moment...something...damp run down my cheek, an unknown feeling residing in me. Hm. Quickly I brushed it off. Must be my imagination.
...
'Goodbye...beloved.'
