This short story investigates a child's mind, turning imaginary friends into the beginning states of paranoia and schizophrenia. At such a young age, it is difficult to decide whether to let a child's imagination run free, or decide if there is in fact something more going on. By the end of the story you will be questioning those theories yourself.

Then one day, more "friends" begin to appear, leaving you to decide between innocent child's play or something more. Martha ultimately needs to decide between what is a dream and reality.
