Animated Doll

One night I was having trouble sleeping. This isn’t uncommon on a full moon, and I was perhaps waiting for it to be out of vision. I could see it outside my window, and I had watched it rise up out of the forest that surrounds my house.

It was 12:30 at that time, and I decided to get out of bed and watch the moon from my window. The room was filled with the sound of deep breathing, that of my girlfriend Tammy who was sleeping soundly and I envied her.

The moon was big and slightly gold in color. I rubbed my eyes and sighed. When I looked back out the window I saw a faint light in the distance. At first I thought it was headlights, maybe from one of our neighbors coming home.

As I observed it more closely, it seemed to be stumbling, and moving towards our property, very, very slowly. I was becoming very uneasy but proceeded to watch it for around another 5 minutes. As it got closer I could make out the figure a little better.

At that point I wished I hadn’t, it seemed to be an infant, a toddler wearing a tattered dress from what I could see. There was something weird about its motion though. It swayed violently from side to side, placing its leg out infront as it did so. I decided to wake Tammy up because this is just too weird.

“hey” I whispered.

“hmm? What’s wrong Chris?” she said completely in a haze of half asleep confusion. She rubbed her eyes and inhaled deeply.

“you have to see this…” I took her hand and led her to the window. It was gone.

“damn it!” I said in frustration.

“What’s going on?”

I stared out the window for a moment longer, and it re appeared from behind a tree, it was making its way left from the road it had been walking down, directly on our fenced property of about 4 acres all together. It was quite a distance from our house though.

“What the hell is it? I What do you think it wants?” the fear was evident in her voice.

“I..I don’t know”

It stopped and turned its head towards our window. I quickly dropped to the ground and pulled Tammy down with me, I hope it didn’t see us. I then waited a few moments before I had a look to see what it was doing. It was now walking in our direction. " It’s coming!” I whispered.

“Why? What do you think it’s going to do?”

“I don’t know, I really don’t, I’ve never liked dolls.”

The room was then filled with the sound of my heartbeat. It was pounding against my chest, trapped by my rib cage. It echoed through my head and I desperately wanted it to stop because if the doll thing could hear it, then it would find us for sure.

Neither of us dared to move at that point we listened for what seemed like hours, Tammy eventually fell asleep in my arms but I stayed and listened for long after that. The only thing of significance I recall hearing was slow taps possibly on the window, but I would not look up.

I’m not sure how, but I managed to fall asleep because I woke to the sun shining in my eyes. The sky was filled with large scattered clouds, one of which soon covered the sun. It was early afternoon but everything seemed sinister. Tammy was still next to me. I got up, carried her to the bed and then left the room to look for anything that brought sense to what happened the previous night.

I inspected the hall. Nothing. The bathroom. Nothing. Then the living room. I thought it was fine until I saw bloodied handprints on the full length windows. A series of tiny handprints. All made by a left hand. It was all real, it had happened. Maybe I need to look at the history of this place. I know that an old lady owned it before I did. She passed away a few years ago, and the house was put up for sale. I know there’s an old box of books of hers in the basement. I never went though them because I didn’t think it was right. Now I need to know what the hell is going on.
