You're All Mine

What Happened to The Lights?

I am taken back by the sight of the doll. It must be a joke, i cant be getting paid this much to be taking care of a sack of cotton can i? Mr Heelshire must have seen my reaction because his face just dropped, it looked like i offended him really bad and i didnt want to do that.

"Im sorry, it's just a shock to me. This is Brahms?"

Mrs Heelshire just smiled and walked me over to Brahms and explained that Brahms is her son who she cares for very much. She also handed me over a to-do list explaining what requirements Brahms has and what time i need to complete each task. Mr Heelshire, still looking like he had seen a ghost explains to me that he needs to show where the mouse traps are because a house this far into the country gets alot of vermin.

I follow Mr Heelshire out into the garden and he huffs. I feel like i was about to get a lecturer for how i reacted to the sight of Brahms, but he started to speak in a gentle voice.

"I bet you are wondering why we have asked you to take care of our Brahms, Mrs Heelshire is very particular in the way Brahms must be cared for, but to be honest she is getting tired. We both are. That is why we have asked to to come here and help because we are taking a holiday to the sea, and our Brahms needs to be cared for like he is your own. You can do that right?"

"Of course sir, he will be treated and cared for like he is my own. I will always do my best"

"Thank you, now let's get these traps cleared".

After i got my hands dirty and and emptied the traps, we took a slow walk back to the house. I looked up to admire the house another time and i noticed that the windows seemed thick and some were even boarded up with wood from the inside. I ask Mr Heelshire why a house that seems in such a perfect condition has been boarded up by the windows.

He just looks up and then looks back at me. He was short and just said "Dodgy Workmen"

We walk back through the front door and an hour passes by. Later on i see the Heelshires had a moved their suitcases to the reception area and they are leaving with the chauffeur. I wish them both a good trip and see them leave.

This first night on my own seems a little spooky. Not because someone is not around, its because something is around. I check the list and i find that i should have put Brahms to bed an hour ago, i walk back into the pool room and the doll is just sat there and i kind of feel it staring into my soul.

"Fucking creepy ass doll"

I pick up the doll, *ahem* Brahms, to carry him upstairs and enter into his bedroom. It looks exactly how you would imagine a young boys room to look like. Brahms is not a boy though, Brahms is a doll. Looking at the dolls face i squint my eyes and observe the porcelain face. It a beautiful white doll with amazing attention to detail in the eyes and other features. Id like to look more but the more i do gaze at it the more i feel a presence around me. I tucked Brahms into bed and turned the lights out.

"Goodnights Brahms. Be a good boy and go to sleep now". 

I walk out of Brahms' room and lock the door shut because i don't want no spooky beings around me while im on my own. i decide to go into mine which is just across the hall. The heelshires were strategic because it's not far away from Brahms which i think is weird because why would i need to be close to a doll, its not like its going to cry in the night.

I unpacked and tucked my belongings into the draws and get ready for a shower. The smell of decomposing rats is not what i was going for so the proposal of a shower is the best option to get rid of this smell. I walk into the bathroom and it's just a traditional bathroom, nothing too fancy. I got undressed and turned on the shower. I looked at my naked body in the mirror before i stepped in and felt a wave of disgust. I was not the thinnest of women, i was more curvy and i had a huge top half. My bum was big also with a small stomach but i don't like how i look like the ideal woman. It makes me feel like something that was made just for men. In the past when i have had sex men toss me about like a ragdoll but all i ever wanted is to be caressed and loved. I cant keep thinking like this but it just overcomes me. I get back in the shower and i wash my body. After i have finished taking the shower i exit the bathroom in just my towel, as i was walking down the corridor i could hear a rustling noise in the walls, oddly enough, and then.

Darkness

I think to myself...

What happened to the lights?
