Don't Think About It

Tommy is a curious three‑year‑old who spends his days inventing adventures with his plush companions—Mr. Bear, Old Rabbit, and Kokey Koala—in the cramped closet of his modest family home. When a dark, inexplicable hole appears in the back of the closet, his parents brush it off with a simple mantra: “Don’t think about it, and it won’t hurt you.” The advice settles over Tommy like a thin blanket, but the mysterious opening continues to nag at his imagination.

One rainy afternoon, the children’s game turns uneasy as the hole begins to widen, and a strange, unsettling presence seems to press against the walls, tugging at the fabric of the closet. The growing void stirs fear in Mr. Bear and prompts Tommy to cry for help, drawing Aunt Martha’s reluctant attention. As she finally opens the door, the sudden flood of daylight forces the eerie force to retreat, leaving Tommy and his stuffed friends to wonder just how much of the terror was real and how much was simply the power of an unchecked imagination.
