A Mind of Its Own

Jade Kolbo | James Brown

Furby’s are scary as hell. My friend swears the batteries were taken out of his Furby, but it kept making noises. It was late at night when he heard something funky coming from his closet. It sounded like a broken down car. He went to his closet to find the source of the noise. It was talking to him in that stupid Furby language saying, “Oo-nye-doo,” which apparently means “where are you.” He double checked about the batteries, but there were still none inside.

He put it in the microwave and set the timer for 2 minutes until it exploded into an inferno of Furby. It screamed as it burned…but I don’t believe him. It still talks to him at night.
