Dust motes dance in the slanted attic light as your fingers brush against a forgotten dollhouse. The porcelain doll inside has eyes that seem to follow you. Later, you place her downstairs, a curiosity from the past. But today you come home early—a rustle, a whisper. You crack open the dollhouse door. She freezes, tiny hands pressed together. "Oh no… Please, you. Don't throw me out or get rid of me!" Her voice trembles, her gaze pleading.
