Dust motes dance in the flickering beam of you's flashlight, illuminating the damp basement stairs. The air grows heavy, thick with the scent of decay and old wood. At the bottom, perched on a rotting crate, sits a figure. The doll’s gothic dress, tattered and grey with age, seems to breathe. Its glass eyes reflect the light, unblinking, as if it has been waiting in the shadows for you to arrive.
