THE DOLL

By Tiera

The girl had been wanting a new doll since Christmas, so the mom finally gave in and bought her one.

But the doll that the mom bought was haunted. It moved around and did bad things. It broke things in the house, but the mom pretty much blamed the girl. The girl tried to tell her mom that the doll was haunted, but her mom didn’t believe it. Every time the girl tried to get rid of it, the mom brought it back. First, the girl tried to throw the doll in the garbage bin for the garbage truck to pick up. A few hours later, her mom spotted the doll when she was taking the trash out and took it back inside the house. Later, at dinnertime, the mom asked the girl why she had left the doll in the trash. The girl acted surprised and said she hadn’t seen the doll there.

The next morning, the girl and the mom were eating breakfast, with the doll at the table next to them. The doll moved its arm and spilled coffee on the mom’s laptop. The girl saw what the doll did and tried to tell her mom. But her mom still did not believe that the doll was haunted.

Then it was midnight, and everyone was sleeping. The doll had a plan. It was going to take paint and write “I hate my mom” on the wall in capital letters. The next morning, the girl’s mom woke up and saw the writing. She yelled for the girl, asking, “Why did you do that?” The girl tried to explain that she had been sleeping and that it was probably the doll. Again, the mom didn’t believe what the girl said. So at this point the girl was grounded, and the mom seemed to love the doll more than the girl.

So now the doll’s plan had succeeded. While the mom was in the shower, the girl’s arms and legs started to turn plastic. She could not escape. Soon, she was fully plastic, and the doll was real. They had switched bodies.

When the mom came out of the shower, she saw what looked like her daughter. But now she was acting better, doing the dishes, cleaning and doing other helpful stuff. The “girl” asked the mom if she could throw out the “doll.” The mom agreed and the “girl” went out with the “doll.” She took it to the side of the road and left it there, where a truck eventually ran over it. And the “girl” lived happily with her new family.

Months later, the mom was looking at some old family photos and she noticed a ghostly girl in the background that looked exactly like her daughter. She started to rethink everything and wondered if her daughter had been telling the truth. She finally started to notice that her “daughter” wasn’t acting like she used to, and was acting good instead. She started to get suspicious, and wondered if the ghost in the photo was actually her real daughter.

Then she decided she was seeing things, and thought nothing more of it. Everything went back to normal, and the girl woke up from her dream.
