Will Ana Escape From Monster Trap?

 

Will Ana Escape from Monster Trap?

Description:

Ana’s childhood was filled with laughter, love, and her favorite toy — a soft brown bear with bright eyes and a stitched smile. But as she grew older, the bear’s innocent charm turned haunting. No matter how far she tried to throw it away, it always came back. Something dark lived within it — something that refused to let Ana go.

Mary and Joshua were blessed with a baby girl, Ana. She was an adorable little princess who captured everyone’s heart with her soft smiles and tiny cries. From the first day, Ana had her own room — a cozy space filled with soft toys, moon-shaped lamps, and lullaby music.

Among all her toys, there was one she loved the most — a small, soft brown bear with bright eyes and a stitched smile. No one remembered who gave it to her, but it had always been there in her crib. Every night, when Ana slept, the bear’s shiny eyes seemed to glow faintly in the dark.

Mary often joked, “That bear loves her more than we do,” not knowing how true those words were.

As Ana grew, she never went anywhere without her bear. She whispered to it, shared her snacks, and even sang to it. When she learned to walk, she carried it everywhere — even to the small secret corner near the patio where she liked to play alone. Sometimes, Joshua thought he heard soft humming coming from that corner, even when Ana wasn’t there.

One morning, they all went out for breakfast. Halfway there, Ana realized her brown bear was missing. She cried and refused to eat. After returning home, she ran to her room — and gasped. The bear was sitting by her window, smiling at her as if it had been waiting.

From that day, strange things began to happen. Ana started waking up at night, talking softly in her sleep. Mary sometimes found the bear in different spots — once even on the kitchen counter, another time near the front door.

Soon, Ana started preschool and secretly hid the bear in her schoolbag. One day, the zipper wasn’t fully closed, and the bear slipped out. When the teacher turned around, she thought she saw something move — a small shadow crawling across the floor.

By the time Ana noticed the bear missing, it had already returned home, sitting neatly on her bed again.

But that night, Mary overheard Ana whispering in her sleep, her voice strange and deep, “I will never leave you… I belong to the bear… the bear belongs to the monster…”

Mary froze outside the door. Inside, the brown bear’s eyes flickered — glowing red for a moment before dimming to brown again.

Years passed.

Ana grew into a quiet teenager — pale, withdrawn, and lonely. She didn’t talk much to her parents anymore. The once cheerful girl who sang lullabies to her toys now preferred silence and shadows.

The brown bear still sat on her desk, untouched yet always facing her. Every night, Ana felt its eyes follow her. Sometimes she heard faint whispers, urging her not to leave, not to forget.

One evening, overwhelmed by anger and confusion, Ana grabbed the bear and threw it out the window. It landed in the wet grass under the moonlight. She shut her curtains tight and collapsed into bed, trembling.

The next morning, as sunlight filled her room, Ana gasped — the bear was back on her chair, dry and clean, smiling as always.

She screamed.

Her parents rushed in, but the bear looked ordinary again. They thought she was imagining things, but Ana knew better. That night, she dreamed of a dark figure — a monster made of shadows — whispering, “You can’t escape me, Ana. You’re already mine.”

Ana began skipping school, locking herself in her room for days. Her friends stopped calling. The walls seemed to whisper her name. Her parents, helpless, thought it was teenage stress, but Ana knew she was trapped — trapped by something she could neither see nor fight.

Weeks later, the school counselor called. Ana hadn’t shown up for nearly two weeks. When Joshua entered her room, it was eerily cold. The curtains fluttered though the window was shut. In the far corner, Ana sat quietly, knees pulled to her chest, her arms tied with thin, brown threads — threads that looked like the stitching from the bear.

The bear sat beside her, its head slightly tilted, smiling.

When Mary tried to reach her, Ana whispered weakly, “It won’t let me go… the monster lives inside it…”

Her eyes were empty but peaceful, as if she had accepted her fate. The brown bear’s stitched smile widened just a little, as if pleased.

Now, no one enters Ana’s room. Sometimes, neighbors say they hear soft humming late at night — the same tune Ana once sang as a child. And if you listen closely, you can almost hear a whisper behind the door:

“Will Ana ever escape the monster’s trap?”

Engaging Question:

Can Ana ever free herself from the monster hiding inside her beloved bear, or is she forever trapped in its shadow?
