🎀 Day 5 of 31 Days of Halloween — The Broken Doll 🧸
Once, she was someone’s perfect little doll.
She was never alone. Her teddy bear was always tucked beneath her arm—a little friend that went everywhere she did. They played together, slept together, and when the world became frightening, she held him a little tighter.
Until one day, she was left behind.
Her dress became dirty and torn. Her porcelain-like face began to crack. The years passed, but she never moved from the place where she had been abandoned.
Neither did the teddy bear.
He stayed beside her, waiting.
Waiting for her owner to come back.
Waiting for someone to pick them both up.
Waiting for someone to play again.
Eventually, someone wandered into the woods and found the broken doll sitting beneath the trees.
But something was strange.
The teddy bear was no longer beside her.
It was sitting several feet away.
Then, somehow, it was closer.
She moved deeper into the woods… and the teddy bear followed.
Every time you looked away, he seemed to be somewhere different.
And then you noticed the doll was holding him again.
She tilted her head and smiled.
Because the teddy bear had finally found someone new to play with.
And this time, he wasn’t going to let them leave. 🧸🎀
