It Hungers For More

Back when I was a little kid I had a bunch of toys that filled me with joy except for one. One toy that scared the hell out of me. I couldn't remember it clearly because my parents took it and hid it from me so I wouldn't have nightmares. Now I had grown up to be a man in my mid-20's with a wife and 3 kids, forgetting anything about that thing that had scarred me when I was little. I hadn't seen it until I decided to go through my old stuff and I had stumbled across a doll that would lead me to make the worst decision of my life. I took it home and gave it to my daughter, who loved to play with dolls. I heard screams from her room that night and my other kids ran to my wife. I had ran to my daughters room only to see her body just standing there with the doll that I had given to her behind her with a different face than I had seen, hearing a sinister chuckle rise from it.
"Get him." I heard from it and before I knew it my daughter was in my face with a cold, hard, sinister laugh that everyone else could hear. My wife tried to book it from there, and then... *splat* she blew up into pieces.
"Ah, fresh maiden blood from your wife. All I need is the blood of your children and your parents and you will suffer complete loneliness! YOU WILL SUFFER GREAT SORROW AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU ARE ON THE ROOF OF THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD ACCEPTING YOUR FATE AND GOING TO HELL!"
"Who are you? What are you? Are you even of this world?"
"Silly little human. I am just your deepest darkest thoughts trapped inside this doll to change the way you live forever. You think you know, huh? You think you know that you are living a real life. You don't know about anything do you? You are just in a world full of fantasies."
I wake up with a different mindset, I thought it was a dream until I had realized where I was when I woke up. I was in a mental hospital.
"May I get the paper for today, please?"
Reluctant, the nurse slides the newspaper under the door. Thought it was funny at first, then I read the paper.
"Ha, Local man eviscerates entire family. Very funny. Now what will they think of next?"
As I read through the article, I had realized I had done the same exact thing to my family. I felt a weird sensation for it, slowly coming up towards me giving me... a desire.... no, a need for more. It hungers for more.
