Seven hot wheels

 

He's four years old

and he has a teddy bear,

seven hot wheels,

two sisters,

a mum and a dad.

 

The door suddenly swung open and the Boogeyman crossed the threshold with arrogance.

The kid had been scared, but soon he relaxed again.

Fireworks were so beautiful…

 

He's four years old

and he has a teddy bear,

seven hot wheels,

two sisters.

 

Two more flash of green light.

Why Stefy and Kate weren’t playing anymore?

 

He's four years old

and he has a teddy bear

 and seven hot wheels.

 

A brief twinge of pain.

 

He was four years

and he had a teddy bear,

seven hot wheels

and only one fault:

being called Harry.

 

 

 

Notes:

Mmm... I'm not super happy with the translation because in Italian we say 'He has four years', so it'd sound like 'He has four years, a teddy bear, bla bla', and I found it more fluid and musical than the grammatically corrected version...

Anyway, thanks for reading, and feel free to drop any feedback, suggestion, correction about the story or the translation, opinion about headcanons and so on ^^
