Eerie Indiana Double Drabble: Living?

[froodle]

Andrea Fantucci did not look up from the stack of newspapers in front of her when she heard the noise. In a house this haunted, there was always something rattling or moaning or scratching about the place, and she'd learned to tune out the noisy dead some time ago.

When she spotted the tumbling blur of yellow-brown plush, however, she shot out of her seat. Reaching out with an arm that seemed to become just slightly longer than usual as she moved, she caught the little bear right before it hit the ground.

"Whoa," she said, turning it right-side up and placing it on the table in front of her. "Probably best not to have any falls until we can figure out what the deal is with you, little man."

The little bear wobbled on it's hind legs, then sat abruptly. It wiped a fat little paw across it's brow, and a scattering of tiny pearlescent beads scattered like droplets of sweat.

"Incredible," said Andrea, folding the newspaper into quarters and setting it aside. She rested her chin in her hands, staring at the living toy in front of her.

"What are you?" she said.

The little bear looked confused.
