He’s soft. He’s snuggly. He’s full of teeth.

📍 Early 2000s – Midwest USA

A child psychologist - whose identity is sealed for reasons you’re about to understand - logs a private case involving a 6-year-old girl, pseudonym: Emily.

She’s referred after her school reports "disturbing drawings" and concerning statements during play therapy.

What kind of statements?

“He only eats bad people. He protects me.”
“He’s hungry when I’m sad.”
“He lives under my bed, but only when he’s full.”

When asked who “he” was, she pointed to her worn-out, floppy-eared teddy bear.
The name tag on its neck?
MR. GRUMBLE.

🦷 Then People Start Disappearing

Within two months:

• A babysitter goes missing.

• A teacher at Emily’s school fails to show up one day.

• A neighbour - who was known for screaming at kids - vanishes mid-week.

Emily tells her therapist:

“They were bad. He got them. He eats them from the toes up.”

The psychologist assumes it's trauma-based imagination…
until one session, Emily brings the bear in.

“He’s still chewing.”

🧸 The Bear Is Torn Open

Out of concern (and probably a bit of fear), the psychologist takes the bear after Emily leaves and cuts it open.

What spills out?

• Teeth.

• Human.

• Some blood-stained.

• None of them Emily’s.

• Dental records later confirm:

  • One molar belonged to the babysitter.

  • Another matched the missing neighbour.

  • The others? Still unidentified.

Also found:

• A finger bone.

• A half-melted hearing aid.

• And a note written in crayon that read:

“Don’t take him away or he’ll eat you too.”

🕳️ The Investigation

Cops are called.
The bear is taken as evidence.
Emily’s parents are investigated.
No connection. No physical evidence. No body parts found in or near their home.

But then the officer holding the bear for transport?
Goes missing on the way to the evidence locker.
Squad car found abandoned.
Bear?
Back in Emily’s room.

👁️ Where’s the Bear Now?

No one knows.

The psychologist claims she burned it - 
but later told a colleague in a panic:

“I heard it laugh while it burned.”

Emily was placed under psychiatric observation.
She hasn’t spoken since.

All she does now is hug a replacement bear.
Same size.
Same shape.
Sewn from unknown fabric.

When asked if it's the same bear, she finally whispered:

“They all come back. Just like he said.”

🖤 Moral of this plushie-fuelled fckery?*
Not all imaginary friends are imaginary.
And if your bear starts collecting body parts…
it’s not just "protective." It’s hungry.

Would YOU sleep in a room with Mr. Grumble?
Or are we zip-tying that bitch in a steel box and launching him into deep space with a priest on standby?
