Teddy hated competition. Somehow the other toys seemed to... disappear. Baby dolls were left in the rain, toy soldiers left under a car wheel and left to crunch. No one knew how. Mummy thought Jessie was very naughty. But Teddy was glad. Barbie was not pretty with her hair cut off. Tied up slinkies couldn't slither down steps. No toy could hide from the totalling teddy, no one could beat the stuffed sadistic. Soon it was only teddy.
Teddy saw another teddy. He reached for the button eye and ripped it off. It hurt him. But the other teddy's eye was gone. Teddy saw a sewn smile and ran for a needle and ran back, carefully unpicking it. It hurt. But teddy was glad.
Teddy unravelled. His last sight himself in the mirror.
Silly Teddy.
