The Dollhouse

Loretta's life

The working men cleared out Loretta's entire bedroom before paining the walls a pretty shade of violet. The glowing stars were thrown in the trash and her dollhouse was put into the attic. The joys of youth were over and now the teenage years were upon the family. Loretta was a moody adolescent who would sneak out on dates with the neighbor boys and steal nail polish from the convenience store. Then, before her or her family knew it she was a young adult moving to college. Time passed and she got engaged, then married, then pregnant. She completely forgot about her old dollhouse that has made up her entire childhood. She was too focused on her own children and giving them a wonderful childhood. And her children grew up kind and smart. Finally, on the last breaths of her long life, Loretta remembered. She remembered all the fun times and her carefree youth. She remembered being a selfish toddler like most four year old are. She remembered her birthdays and her old friend Angie. She remembered Elizabeth, Beatrice, Lucinda, Alexandra, and Annalise. She remembered and then she passed away peacefully.
