Tom was just like every other 9 year old boy, except he wasn't.  He suffered from a genetic inheritance that has been in his family for generations.  He was to spend most of his life in a hospital until he was strong enough to walk and get around, which would be before he reached twenty.  Now, you'd think that a boy in this condition would be depressed and lonely, but in fact, he was full of life, even though he knew that his mother and her ancesters had died from this very disorder before they reached thirty years of age.  Now, you may be asking for yourself, "Why was this young boy so happy?"  The answer is simple, he always had his best friend Dimples, a Jack in the Box toy.  Doctors didn't know how, but when Tom played with Dimples, he showed more brain activity and even seemed healthy.  You see, Dimples has been in Tom's family for generations as well, always getting repaired when broken.  Tom wasn't the only one who had felt better around Dimples, all his ancesters who had had this disorder did aswell. 

The doctors couldn't explain it, the toy seemed to be magic.  But that's impossible, magic isn't real!  Or is it?  In fact, Dimples was magic, but much darker than you might think, he wasn't kind or nice.  In actuality, there was no genetic disorder, there was only Dimples.  He slowly takes the life of anyone that listens to his tune before he pops up, but it isn't in a flash that people feel weak.  No, he slowly takes their life, but also making it so that Tom and his ancesters felt healther when they were around Dimples, making them want to play with him more, when in fact, he was the thing killing them. He may be the hero and only light of Tom's life, in Tom's perspective, but Dimples, in all sense of the name, was driving Tom to his grave.
