Dollhouse
by Wynelda Ann Deaver

Don’t worry my dear, there are no angels here. This dollhouse isn’t meant for the faint of heart, no. No damsels in distress shall be comforted here and Daddy’s little princess will shy away. It’s quite simple, dearie…. Even monsters need a place to play.

See that nightmare? See it well. You threw Baby Suzie away like so much trash, once you’d beat her to hell and back. See the crack on her forehead? How her eyes have gone black? Her dress in tatters and her feet worn off from being drug behind you.

Ah, yes, I think you see. Nightmare will take care of little Baby Suzie. Nightmare will love her well. She is family.

You?

You aren’t here to play with dolls. No. There is no playing here for you.

See, here? You are the doll. And Nightmare wants to play.
