Sanity Killer

He looks at you, tears in his eyes. It moves you to a state where you are putty in his hands, and you work with him on a farm in Chicago for the rest of your days. You try to leave one night, and Elmo goes into one of his usual tantrums. This one, however, goes out of control. He grabs a spork and attacks you. It hits your knee and your eyes pop out. Why? Hey, you've learned not to ask questions in this story I am hoping?
