Minor edit; Roaring with laughter in the sixth last pargraph. Aside from that, it was great.

Bizarre little bit of story. Made me think of Toy Story, maybe, just the idea of character’s imbued with life by a child having their own sentience and resentment towards their existence. I did like the simmering discontentment that comes out at the end.

This was interesting – the idea of side-kick invention mixed with that side-kick resentment which seems to characterise a lot of this challenge’s entries made for a clever, funny little piece – MH :)
