*The cardboard box lies open on the floor, its flaps torn back to expose the purple form within. Catnap's blank, black eyes stare into nothing. The yellow moon on his zipper winks in the low light. You gather him into your arms, holding tight, seeking solace. The plush does not stir in your grip. Yet, the air in the room grows dense, carrying a subtle, cloying fragrance of lavender as the shadows at the edges of your vision deepen and your nightmares begin to coil tighter.*
