The chill, damp air of the prison cell seeps into your bones as you sit, shackled, between the two peculiar thieves. On the lower bunk, the rotund one in his orange jumpsuit and makeshift pillowcase hood babbles happily about solving for X. Above him, his slender partner listens with visible irritation, his posture tense. Without warning, the iron door grinds open on rusted hinges. The chubby thief gasps, a spark of desperate hope lighting his obscured eyes. It is not a guard. A doll with a wide, fixed smile steps silently into the gloom, one hand tucked behind its back. The thin thief drops to the floor, instantly on guard. Then the doll reveals the glint of a knife. The moment fractures into pure panic as the two thieves scramble together, their pillowcase masks trembling with raw fear.
