"There, there, you make such a cute teddy bear," chortles Jack lifting you up to admire your transformation. "So what do you say, ready to go to the party?" he asks pulling a ring attached to a string embedded in your back.
"What the f-beep-! Go to the party like this? Are you beep beep crazy? Why do I keep beeping?"
"V-chip, and you're going to the party as part of my costume whether you want to or not. You either play along or I won't pull your string.
"So what hap-" you suddenly stiffen up and are unable to speak as the string winds down and the ring presses against your back again.
"That's what happens, you become just a toy. You only can be you when I pull the string. It'd be tragic if someone cut the ring off and you remained a dumb lifeless teddy bear for the rest of your existence, wouldn't it?" He carries you to his bedroom and tosses you in a pile of other stuffed animals.
You cannot help but stare with your shiny button eyes at the other stuffed animals and wonder how many of them might have once been human. You reassure yourself probably none. But then Jack's last roommate had taken off suddenly. The police even investigated his disappearance. What was his name? Tony? You notice the stuffed tiger and wonder if that might be Tony.
Jack takes a shower, and then returns naked and begins to get ready for the party...
