Humans are fragile living beings. If we are able to change the world’s content into something hard to break, will this help to ease the pain we encounter? Making it a dream which however fatal it was, once we wake up, no traces of wounds could be found.
A world free of wounds, a world free of pains.
If we are replaced by toys, as toys occupy our imaginative world, how would they conduct their living? Will friendships remain the same? Will families still offer us warmth and headaches as before? Will hatred continue to haunt them, just like how it has haunted us to the remainder of our days? Will love that used to fulfill our spirit and crush our heart retain its meaning?
And, will art release from custody, the plastic heart, just like how it has released me to the other world, time and again?
Will toys recognize me? I do wonder about these, albeit having no answers.
