A 100 word story by Laurence Simon about a girl with a doll in her arms.
The voices are coming from inside your head, not the doll.No, I don't know why I can hear them, too. Yes, that's very strange.
Maybe you're mumbling the words like a ventriloquist. Can you bite down on this piece of rubber for a moment and we'll just have a listen?
Okay, I still hear it. It's talking about burning down the cornfields.
That's a very pretty dress. Here's something you can wear over it. Just put your arms in the sleeves and try to relax.
I'll just hold the doll for a moment, okay?
This won't hurt a bit.
I love it when I have the chance to take a seemingly ordinary person and make them totally batshit insane. It's an awesome power that only a god should have.
