The Doll

The Doll was returned, but changed its appearence....

There was once a little girl named Tina. She and her mother went to a small discount toy store. Tina saw a cute little baby doll for only three dollars! The Doll was holding up two fingers which made it even more cute. She begged her mom to buy it, so she did, but the clerk said, "Are you sure you want that doll? It has been returned twice?" The little girl made up her mind and decided to buy it.

When she took her doll home, she put it on the shelf. When she went to sleep, the doll fell. She turned on the light and put it back on the shelf. She turned off the light, but it fell again. She decided to leave the doll there and go back to sleep.

The next day, her mom entered her room and screamed. Tina's mouth was sewn together and her stomach was ripped apart. Blood was in the blanet and on the walls. The doll was perfectly clean and was back the shelf... holding up three fingers.
