The dumpster’s darkness held a discarded ball-jointed doll, heartbroken from abandonment. A new toyshop had opened nearby. Through a tiny gap, the doll peered out until a hand grabbed its neck, lifting it into the light. Jason, the shop’s owner, frowned with gentle concern. "It is a shame that people throw out perfectly good dolls!" he murmured softly, carrying the fragile figure away to begin repairs.
