"I believe that I killed my classmate back in grade 5"'

Clara recalls that back in 5th grade, she was bullied relentlessly by her classmate named Nora. Nora, as Clara described her, was a stereotypic large-bodied bully.

"I couldn't fight back because not only was she large, but she also had a lot of friends who were also mean. "

She claims that her bullies would call her names, throw rocks at her, put trash in her bag, cut her hair, stick gum on her clothes, and much more. Her teachers would often scold Nora and her friends, but Nora never seemed to stop harassing her on a daily basis. Clara says that she developed a coping mechanism by channeling her anger on her dolls at home.

One Barbie doll, in particular, was her favorite to take her anger out upon. She named this doll Nora. She would twist its limbs, fling it onto walls, stab its chest with barbecue sticks and even have her dog use it as a chew toy. By far, however, her favorite thing to do with the doll was to rip its head off and keep it decapitated for days. She claims that it helped her relieve her stress, thinking that the doll was suffering. As with how Nora bullied her on a daily basis, she would also torture the Nora doll everyday as well.

On one particular event, Clara had come home with bruises after Nora had tripped her down the stairs. Thankfully, she was already near the bottom of the stairs and rolled only a few steps. Finally, Nora was suspended from school indefinitely. Clara, on the other hand was given homeschooling for the rest of the year to help her recover. During this time, she would constantly release her stress by tormenting her Nora doll. Sometimes, she did nothing but just that the whole day. Until one day something strange had happened.

"When I remembered all the things she did to me, I couldn't help but forcefully pull off the barbie's head, but this time it felt different. It was as if I pulled off some flesh."

Clara inspected the doll and found nothing wrong with it, but she could not deny the sensation that she felt. She said that even the sound was different, as if she heard bones rattling and breaking.

When Clara went back to school for the following year, Nora was no longer enrolled. She heard the news that Nora was killed in a vehicular accident the year before; The impact inexplicably decapitated her.

"In reality, I know it was probably just a coincidence, but a part of me still believes that I was the one who caused that"

Clara says that she sometimes sees Nora's headless body carrying her decapitated head - following her around her home. The head speaks in an unintelligible but infuriated manner. She fears that it is the angered soul of Nora trying to take her to the underworld.
