The Clock Strucks Danger

That action figurine

I figured that no scary/creepy book is complete without a cliché ghost doll story in it. But there won't be your typical "Anabelle" like situation in this one. I hope you like it.

The following story is written in first person. I had a batman action figurine. Do you have any?

~~~~~~~~

Hello, I am Dominique and today is my 8th birthday. I have always wanted the super Icon Man doll and this time, my parents agreed to buy me one. I am so happy.

~~~~~~

They took me to the mall where I had Chinese for lunch and then, we roamed about around the shops. I got a lot of presents. They bought me a pair of new boots, a colouring book and some chocolates but I am still not satisfied. When will they take me to the toy shop?

~~~~~

We came home and my friends Billy and Ray paid me a visit. We had coke in little plastic cups, cut the butterscotch cake mom made for me and played video games till it was time for them to go. They got me baseball cards and a big box of crayons. It's all very fine but I still want my Icon Man doll.

~~~~

Finally! That was their ultimate surprise. I found a gift box sitting atop my table right away I came to room after dinner. I ripped the packaging right away to find Icon Man in his gleaming green metallic suit. He had dark googles on his eyes, just as in the television show, and he was grinning at me. He was standing on a deattachable pedestal. I played around with him for a while pretending to be Icon Man's sidekick until I got tired for the night and slept.

~~~

Hi. It's me again. I feel wierd. I can see and feel the world around me but I can't move my hands or feet. I can't even speak. The most unusual part is that now I am in a different room. I can see a great white bed in the middle of the room and someone is under the covers by looks of it. This room does not have Michael Jackson posters like I had although there is a great flat television in one corner. It's still dark outside.

~~

Its early morning now and some one just woke up. I can't see him properly from here but he is a tall guy and seems to have well developed arm muscles. He disappeared inside sliding doors, probably a closet.

That man is wearing a green metallic suit. I can see his gold buckle shining in the sunlight. He is putting dark goggles on. He turns and faces me. He grins and within two huge steps, he reaches across the room and snatches me from the pedestal I was placed upon.

"Hello there, dollie!" He chirped and bought me closer to his face.

Being so close to Icon Man made me excited. I wanted to shout 'hello!' Back to him but I couldn't move my lips. I simply stared at him lifelessly.

"Bet you could have been my sidekick. I'll play with my new doll later. For now, its time to save the world."

He kept me on his bed and swooshed out of the room so swiftly leaving everything behind him in such a  state that it looked like a tornedo hit the room.

I was flung to one corner from the sheer force of it.

I don't care.

I just want Icon Man to return home soon and play with me, his new dollie.
