Alex Keegan's Teddy Bear's Picnic is a short work of hyperfiction expressed well through Flash. Although, it could've been more dramatic - it is quite real. The work deals with children being manupilated through chatting on the internet.
How a girl is weaned away from her own family and emotionally strained to form a connection with a stranger online forms the periphery of the story. It is, sadly, a very true scenario and quite creepy at that.
Many children today are left unguided on the internet and chatting leads them to believe in false relationships and rely on them emotionally. The consequences are adverse and scar them for lives. They often let go of their own families in the process and accept a stranger as their only companion.
The extent of such manupilation is petrifying and realizing the sheer truth of it all is even worse. The piece above contains pauses before replies reflecting the random thoughts going through her head and shows the vulnerability of a child to such satanism.
A sincere eye-opener to protect the immature ones around us... from themselves.
