It's 3 a.m. on a Monday, and people are cossetted in their blankets and hugging their pillows as sweet sleep lures them away.
A pitiful creature with a bluish hue and dull crimson eyes is awake. The creature stares at a little ball of cuteness that does not know the time and is busy looking at shadows.
The creature is a Mombie. A legendary being that has forsaken sleep as she is now controlled by the whims and fancies of a tiny, demanding, albeit cute being.
A piercing scream shatters the calm of the night, and the mombie is spurred into action to serve her master. She measures the formula with the accuracy of a chemist and pours warm water to create the elixir that will silence her master. If she is a second late, then she will face his wrath. The cries, which have fallen into a high-pitched, unlikely rhythm, can also turn into bellows that can shake human beings to their very core.
The deceptively innocuous (and cuddly) creatures' eyes get droopy, raising hope of a modicum of sleep. Alas, the creature has detected light and its eyes have snapped wide open, striking terror in the heart of the mombie.
The mombie can feel the empty, desolate movement in the brainbox. There had been grey matter there and memories of what sleep felt like.
Now it is deserted except for the image of the sweetest, most innocent smile in the world that can take away any negativity, cynicism and sadness that the world inflicted on you.
...but not let you sleep though :P
