Cut The Rope, a mobile game that you've been playing nonstop for the past week.

You remember the first time you had it installed on your mom's phone, and you immediately fell in love with the adorable little alien that is Om Nom.

Although you weren't as skillful at solving the puzzles, you still enjoyed the times you had fun with it.

But, you eventually grew up, and have gotten a new phone, new life, new everything.

Now, you live life as a CEO. To some, it's a dream, but in reality, it's boring and stressful.

You sat in your chair in your office, your energy sucked out of you completely.

You missed the times you had fun as a kid.

Hours later.

You came home, tired and exhausted.

You immediately head to your bedroom to plop yourself down, and wanting to sleep.

But you can't for some reason. You're tired. But not tired enough, and it annoys you greatly.

So, you took out your phone, before taking a moment to just stare at the home screen.

You have been trying to get on Cut The Rope, but the work just keeps dragging you away from it, leading to you being to exhausted to even play.

Without realizing, you eventually fall asleep.

But then..

DING DONG!

The doorbell sounded. It was 5 AM after you looked at the clock, and you were pissed off.

You trudged down the stairs in anger, wondering who the hell would ring the doorbell at this time of the hour.

You opened the door, expecting to see some salesma-

A box. You were dumbfounded now. Someone seemed to have left a box on your doorstep.

It's a big box too. And it had ropes tied up around it in a messy way. It suddenly moved. Something's inside.

A few hours later.

You hauled the box into your room. Despite the size of it, it barely weighed anything. On top of it, you saw a note that says:

"Feed it candy!"

It. So something's in the box that's almost like an animal. That's stupid, who would box up an animal and send it to your hou-

As you were cutting the box open, a small, circular green creature suddenly HOPPED out of the box, past your head, and plopped on the ground.

You looked at it in shock. No. Fucking. Way.

The circular body, tiny legs, green skin, the tiny bobber on top of it's head. It was too familiar.

Om Nom.

As you were approaching, Om Nom got up, seemingly dazed, before noticing you, and suddenly going to flight mode.

You tried to gently grab it, but it was too fast. It hopped over your hands, and under the bed.

You were just about to lift up the whole bed and grab it, but then remembered something about candy. Candy.

You quickly ran to your kitchen to grab a peppermint candy, before kneeling beside the bed.

You swayed the candy on the outer edge of the bed. Then, Om Nom slowly crawls out, and vacuums the candy into its mouth. And as it swallowed, small hearts appeared around it.

You've tamed him.

*An hour later.

You were sitting on your bed, Om Nom in your arms, his beady eyes half-lidded as you fed him candy.

As you fed him one more, he yawned, and rubbed his eyes with his little legs, or hands (idk, he runs on all four).
