Rasputin, an eight year old girl found a lying doll beside the tree on her father's funeral day. The doll was old, dressed in ragged clothes, cheeks bulged, and hair curled with a black ribbon tied around it. She went towards the doll, picked it up, took it to her room, and hurriedly locked inside her closet.

At 9 pm, after greting goodnight to her mother, she went to her room and opened the closet to change her dress. Then she suddenly remembered the doll she had kept up there, but surprisingly, there wasn't any doll inside the closet. She searched all around the closet, and eventually all around the room. Wondering where the doll could have  possibly gone, she opened the door of her room and found the doll lying on the brownish-red carpet. She then picked it up and again placed it in the previous place. After changing the dress, she turned off the light and fell asleep.

"Dad, why did you leave us? Please come back, please!",cried Rasputin on her dream.

"What are you talking about, Rasp? And why did you lock me in your closet? I am suffocating here."

"I swear I didn't lock you there. I locked the doll lying beside the tree you were cremated."

"Shut up! Just take me out or I will kill you too."

She suddenly woke up from the nightmare. She was too petrified to sleep alone, so she decided to sleep with her mother. She tried to open the door but it was locked from outside.

"Mom!", she shouted reluctantly.

No answer.

"Mom, please open the door." She shouted anxiously.

She tried to switch on the light but she could feel a palm on it and she furiously went back to her bed.

She crawled on her bed and tried to switch on her table lamp. But she saw the doll lying on the other side of the bed just smiling at her with drops of blood on the doll's right eye. She fearfully picked it up and threw outside the window.

She again tried to open the door, and fortunately, it opened. She hurried towards her mother's room. The door was open, but her mother wasn't there. She went downstairs in the kitchen, and in the living room. She could not find her anywhere.

She cried and cried all night.

At 6 in the morning she suddenly found herself lying on the kitchen floor. She ran upstairs towards her room. She called her mom every ten seconds. Without any hope, she opened her closet to cloud away from her anxiety.

As soon as she opened it, she saw her mother's body falling towards her with that ragged doll in her arms.
