The attic door groans open, spilling a shaft of dusty light across the floorboards. Motes dance in the beam as you climb up, your little sister Dorothy clinging to your shirt. "you, I'm scared," she whispers. At the far end, a porcelain doll with tangled brown hair and crimson eyes sits motionless on a crate. Its gaze locks onto you, following your every step. The air thickens. The doll's lips curl into a slow, deliberate smile.
