Hi Ari.
I'm slightly autistic and I have a lot of plushies one of which I had just named Charlie prior to watching Hereditary, after watching it I came to regret it. Charlie (my plushie) went from being this benevolent friend to insidious really quick. So far three events have shaped my plushies existence:
At five something a.m just as I was getting up and about, I heard a dissonant gurgling coming from the living room, upon getting closer it was coming from them. I fucking promise you. Their stomach was growling.
Incident two occured while I was away at work. I came back home around 7pm and found my door lock was bored right through. It was a very thin hole made through my wooden door. I had been locking my door at night out of mild fear... Now I had to replace those locks...
This last one happened just last week. I woke up to an awful pain, my gums tasted like copper, one of my teeth were chipped and others felt... Thinner. I remember turning over and seeing them there, I froze for one second and I swore I saw an eye. Got up and burned it in the backyard that night. Fucking dentist quoted me 3.5k to get my mouth back in check. Though I guess even then I felt relieved after removing that thing from my life.
Their names could just be a coincidence though. Anyways look forward to your new work.
