I bought a cute light! [Amano Writing Club]

When Ken-chan returned home, Satsuki happily took something out of a paper bag.

Look! Ken-chan! I bought a cute light!

She said, placing a light on the desk featuring a famous theme park animal character with a huge grin, holding a lantern up with one hand.

Oh... wow, that's a really cute light... And look at that great smile! Wouldn't it be good to put it by the bedside?

As he said this to Satsuki while turning the light on and off,

That's right. I bought it thinking I'd put it by the bedside. I'll probably have sweet dreams, right?

She said with a big smile, so they immediately placed it by the bedside.

A few days later, when he happened to look at the light, the hand that had been holding the lantern was hanging down.

Ken-chan said,

Is the arm articulated...?

He lifted the animal's arm up, but it gradually slid back down.

The arm is already tired!

He laughed with Satsuki and decided to just leave the arm down.

That night, Ken-chan went to bed, turned on the animal light by the bedside, and started reading a book in a relaxed manner.

Satsuki, who entered the room later, stared at the light and said,

...Hey, Ken-chan... Isn't this light a little scary...?

She started to say.

Ken-chan closed his book and looked at the light.

Because the hand holding the lantern was down, the animal's face was being lit from below, and the wide grin illuminated by the light gave off a somewhat unsettling vibe.

...It looks a bit creepier than when we saw it in the light...

Ken-chan and Satsuki stare at the light in silence.

Then, Satsuki says,

"Ken-chan... doesn't it look like this character is looking at us?"

Ken-chan starts to think that maybe she's right, and a chill runs down his spine.

"......Don't say weird things...."
"......Alright!! Let's sleep!!"
"We're going to sleep, tomorrow is early too!!"
"We're going to work like pack horses!!"

He says this, pulls the futon over his head, and closes his eyes.

Satsuki also gets into the futon, turns off the light, and closes her eyes.

The next day, the two of them were sleep-deprived and unsteady on their feet.

And so, the light was put away in the back of the closet.

The end.

I participated in the [Amano Writing Club] project!
I had Chat (ChatGPT) generate an image of the light.

I had fun writing this time too😊
Thank you‼️
