Short Scary Stories

Four fingered doll

A woman had a four-year-old daughter named Jaime who you would not exactly call...normal. Jaime's classmates teased her for

that. One day, Jaime came home crying, so the woman decided to buy her daughter a gift. She drove down to the dollar store,

and looked around. She found a doll with four fingers, and she knew that Jaime would love it. She went to the cash register to

pay for it. "Sorry, ma'am, but I can't sell you this doll," the cashier said. "Oh, please, my daughter will love it!" "Nope, sorry." "

What if I pay you ten dollars?" the lady asked. "No." "One hundred dollars?" "Sorry." "A million?" "Well, okay. But you have to

promise me one thing." "What?" she asked. "Don't leave your daughter alone with the doll at night." "Okay," the woman agreed,

not planning to actually listen--what would be so bad about leaving her daughter alone with a doll? That night, the woman tucked

Jaime into bed, and left the doll with four fingers on the dresser on the other side of the room. She left the room and turned off

the light. Suddenly, Jaime heard a small voice from across the room singing, "Jaime, I'm taking one step!" Then she heard a thump

on the floor. "Jaime, I'm taking a second step!" the voice sang, again. "Jaime, I'm taking a third step! Jaime, I'm climbing," the voice

sang, sounding a lot closer to her, and Jaime heard some scratching on wood. "Jaime, I'm going to kill you." The next morning, the

woman went into Jaime's room to find her daughter dead with the four fingered doll sitting on the bed with a knife in her hand.
