Waking up felt abnormal

Simon usually wakes up in his soft, warm bed, the kind that made him feel like a prince in his own little world , but this time it was cold and aching, as if he slept on piles of brick.

For a second,his brain tried to protect him- “ we are still dreaming, this ain't real”.

He rubbed his eyes, desperate to wake up from a nightmare he thought he was in…but when he opened them again, he was petrified that it was real and his nightmare had just begun.

His eyes widened as he scanned the room shaking his head left and right, not ready to believe that last night's incident was real, and that the monster actually took him.

He tried to move.

But a sharp, metal scrape echoed against the floor that's covered with dirt.

Simon froze, the shackles circled around his ankles, tied, trapped.. but worse he was not alone.

There were other kids in complete fear and tears, tied up with the same shackles, they didn't dare to move out of fear.

He saw more cages lined up in rows filled with other kids. And then he saw him.

Roy.

Hope filled his eyes when he finally saw his friend, who was frozen, a face that still couldn't accept, he was long away from home and tossed into a cage like rubbish.

Simon crawled to the barrier of the cage, the heavy metal scraping against the floor loudly, every time he moved, the other kids tried to signal him to stop. But he didn't care less about them.

Finally stopping at the metal divider between both cages, Simon whispered his friend's name, hoping to get his attention

“ROY!”

Roy didn't look, his eyes still on the floor, but Simon was desperate to get his attention.

This time he loudly tried to get his attention.

“ROY!”

Finally Roy looked at him but wasn't as pleasant to see him there.

“ Ugh Can't you keep your mouth shut for once loud mouth?” Roy whispered angrily.

“Nice to see you too arse face”, Simon shot back. Simon didn't enjoy the silence, it made him uncomfortable.

He tried to strike a conversation with Roy who was trying his best to avoid him.

“Do you know why we are here?”Simon whispered gently, to not annoy his friend.

“The monster that took me, said something about a naughty list, I guess we made it as the top candidates ”

Simon let out a quiet laugh ,as if this whole situation was a cruel joke to him. “So what? Santa didn't have funds to give coals this year” he muttered “not sure if taking us was a great idea though.”

Simon wasn't pleasantly happy, being stuck in an unhygienic cage, but going home currently wasn't as safe either.

A good one hour passed, Simon still sat in the same spot now sulking, no idea had made a visit to his brain so far, and time was being wasted which he hated most.

Shadows gathered, growing in numbers, and darker, one stepped forward, … long fingers …similar to the one that took him, in its hand held a key, made out of rusted bones, slamming the door open harshly, the children's fear didn't affect them, they surrounded them.

Simon was lifted by the monster that took him, and lifted with its one had, it was indeed strong especially for the fact it was skinny and bony, he tried to free himself from the clutches, the other monsters took the others kids from the cage, his eyes widened after witnessing many cages that kids all around the world.

The Children cries blurred together as a single sound echoing a huge room, that was the size of an abandoned prison.

Simon tries to twist himself out, but the monster grip only tightened. He had no choice but to stop moving. He knew if he kept fighting, it will end up bad .

Each monster carried a child as they passed through a door that slid open with a card key.

Another room appeared beyond it.

It was a factory, a massive factory built for toys. Machines held each toy, stitching and constructing them with perfection.

Before Simon could think further, he saw the same machine that held toys started holding each children instead, buckets above them refilling and pouring unusual silicone onto every kid silencing their.

Simon's eye widened in pure fear, he knew this was not gonna end up any good, he tried to break free but he couldn't move an inch, as if the monster that held him knew he would have acted like that. It just moved towards the machine that now helded on to simon arms and leg tightly and laid him down on the toy track.

“ you can't do this to me, see what happens when my father hears about this”.Simon tried his best to scare whoever….or whatever managed this factory or inhumane scheme, he had no desire to be part of it….realistically who does?

The monster that took simon, just stared at him; no empathy, no regret, no panic…nothing. It lips curved into a tight slight smile amused by the little boys shouting, feeling the joy hearing his cries.

Finally, it spoke, one last time. “You chose to be a brat… we will fix that.” A wide smile stretched across its face. “But don’t expect to enjoy it ….Simon.”

Simon mouth was open, but there was nothing left to comment back to the monster.

*BEEP*

Simon looked up his eyes widened seeing the bucket on top of him.

Before he could even make a single sound, the bucket filled with beige, coloured silicone that was warmly steamed, poured on top of him covering him all over him.

Each children had gone through a horrific fate

And was silenced, all carefully placed in a cool corner of the room preparing -

for A morning Surprise.
