Ghost and Monster.

What happened to the childhood toys, the imaginary friends, the treasure boxes that you keep in the drawer and the friends you promised forever?

Did you have a favourite toy when you were young? A dog, or perhaps a doll. Or maybe an imaginary friend? What was its name? Remember it used to be your best companion, the one you turn to when you were happy, the one you hugged when you were sad. Where are they now? Neglected?

How about the treasure box you kept in the drawer? The box that contains all your treasures - pokemon cards, bottle caps, shiny stone, stickers, fallen tooth etc. Where is this box? Thrown away during spring cleaning?

Remember your childhood friends? Those you fought with but never stop playing with? Those running barefooted with you around the blocks, doing the stupidest things. Those that made time fly, made you look forward to tomorrow. Those you promised you'd play with forever, when you grow up you'd still be friends. Have you grown up? Where are they? Lost contact?

What is your favourite toy now? Or do you still even play?
What is in your treasure box now? Money and certificates?
Who are the people around you? Are they friends? Or just co-workers? Will you be there for them? Will they, for you?

Maybe ghosts and monsters are not trying to catch children. They just want to make friends with them because they are lonely. Because only children can see ghosts and monsters. Only children dream. We live in reality.
