See for Yourself

A house like any other house on the outside, except it wasn't what was going on outside that mattered; it was what was going on in the inside that could give demons nightmares. This house was secluded, tucked away, where only the owner knew where it was and there wasn't even a mailbox for the post office, but tonight he had a visitor. Groans and screams echo in the house with the occasional insidious laughter following but outside are muffled and blanketed by the forest leaves. On the inside there are toys scattered all over the living room, on the floor and on the walls, even some hanging from the ceiling. It looked as if a child had decorated or someone with a mind of an infant. In the homeowners gaming chair sat a man in a purple suit and purple leather gloves with pale skin the color of egg shell covering his flesh.

He was reading the news-paper aloud in the direction of a dark corner with no sign of life just staring eyes that happen to catch whatever light was left in the room from the broken toy lamp on the floor. One eye looked to be fake, it did nothing but stare into the beyond and hugely disproportioned to the head of the beholder. The other blinked with fear, twitching occasionally with pain, and a steady stream of tears trickling down his cheek.

"Please Joker, I, I swear th-that's all I know. Take it all, every s-single t-toy" He started sobbing and the once steady drip became a stream of tears.

The Joker put the paper down on his lap and you can see where he was reading and circled in red. It read the Justice League and Lantern Corpse still fighting Doomsday. Death toll rises from legion of doom civil war. Gothams knight still missing. "You've made me lose my place, oh no matter, same story as yesterday and the day before...here see for yourself." The Joker puts the paper down on the nightstand next to Winslow (Toyman) Schotts actual eye.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Now where were we? Oh yes, I was just discussing why I've come to your little fun house, kinda depressing really, you should see mine...MUCH bigger and better toys but you don't want to talk about that do you? NO, no no no, you want to tell me something. Something worth all this hassle, normally I would've just called but you're not exactly listed. HEHE"

Winslow sat in defeat and a puddle of his own urine. "I-I t-told you everything, I s-swear I don't k-know anything else, b-but I can help in other w-ways, Ive been working on s-some toys that" He was interrupted by a chirp that whispered death for the Toyman and hit him in the living eye that never saw it coming.

The Joker stood up, put his hat on and replied to the dead man lying on the floor before him "Just because it's a toy for all ages doesn't mean everyone should play...HAHAHAHAHA" The Joker laughed all the way out the door.
