It’s Alive!

By Lachlann Carter

Everywhere you look, things are coming alive!

All it takes is a pair of peeping eyes and a set of chompy teeth to transform an everyday object and awaken it to life.

And now that it is alive it is time to uncover its own unique story and character. What wild dreams swirl in its imagination? What spooky shadows send shivers down its imaginary spine? What tasty treats set its teeth gnashing? And what sounds does it make when it is thinking about these things? After all, even inanimate objects have a lot on their minds once awakened to life!
