The Toymaker's Factory was the biggest sensation back in the 30's, they say. A handcrafted place of enjoyment built upon blood, sweat, and tears. It shut down all too soon when the mastermind behind the scenes disappeared without a warning, and the once vibrant place became dull and void.
Then one summer afternoon in the early 2000's, rumors started popping up that, despite being out of the blue, claim the Toymaker is alive and well. How else would you explain the missing urban explorers rumor? Curtis Ramsay has no intentions of stepping foot in that place, having no desire to become another missing poster hung on the police station's walls. A bit of peer pressure from his best friend has Curtis unearthing the Factory's dark truth.

Maybe it was the way all of their hearts beat in synchronization or the bulging veins that popped out of their hands as they did their work. Somehow, some way, without the normal supervision and the taste of human blood I'd gotten just an hour ago, I broke my streak of leaving the humans to rest freely, and I killed them all.
"Madeline." I announced to the crowd, at least they'd know the name to their killer when I pierced my teeth into their bodies, their bodies running cold due to the lack of blood.
"Maddy?" A sadly familiar voice said from the front door. When I didn't respond he stepped closer and used his thumb to tilt my head back to look at him. I couldn't make out if it was disappointment or sadness when he looked at the remains of the human boy lying in front of me, no chance of life inside of him. "Oh, Madeline." he sighed.
