Evelyn looks bored at the rain outside. People with umbrellas walk on the street. All wearing grey. Nothing but grey.
"Evelyn time for food!"
Her mother screams from downstairs. If she comes down she can see a stranger lying on the sofa. He's all drunk and stinks.
"You know what you need to do with the trash, right?"
Evelyn stops eating. With her eyes she looks at the man lying there.
"Yes."
Her mother stands up and gives her a kiss on the for head.
"Well then I will be out for a little bit. Don't forget, I don't want to discover a single piece of trash when I'm back okay?"
She says it with a sweet smile. Then she lefts. Evelyn can hear a car driving away. Then suddenly the man starts to scream in his sleep.
"So noisy."
Evelyn takes a kitchen knife from the drawer.
"Angela? Where are you?!"
The man calls out for her mother. Evelyn holds the knife behind her back. Then the man walks inside the kitchen. He walks at her and takes her by her collar.
"Tell me! Where did that woman go?!"
Then Evelyn slowly moves her left arm. The hand where she is holding the knife. The man can see a glistening of light that shines on the knife.
"What are you...?"
Then she stabs him in his leg. The blood splatters everywhere in the kitchen.
"Everything is grey but not the red..."
The man falls screaming on the floor, holding his leg.
"You little...!"
She looks disgusted at the man lying on the floor.
"You little what?"
She drags the man to her room. He keeps struggling and screaming.
"Don't try these walls are soundproof."
When she open the door a rotting smell comes out. There is no bed. Only a wooden table full of red. She drops the man on the table.
"I need to clean first..."
She walks out of the room. She takes a mop and some water and begins to wash all the blood away. It all is back grey when she is done. Then she hears loud noises coming from her mother's room. When she opens the door the man is trying to escape from the table that he is strapped on. When he sees Evelyn he begins to scream. His eyes are tolling in their eye sockets.
She takes her surgery stuff from under the table. A set if little knifes, scissors and even saws are displayed on the table now. The man looks scared at it.
"Please don't kill me. I have a wife and children! I have many friends that are waiting for me! I have a good job and always served the law!"
Evelyn stabs him in the stomach.
"If I stab you here. You will not die, you will only feel pain."
The man begins to scream again.
"Stop it!!!"
She puts a surgical mask on her face.
"Stop wailing! It's not like I'm going to make furniture from you."
The man begins to scream harder.
"If you die now, there will be a big problem."
She takes a tong and begins to pull out all his nails. Beginning by his feeth. The man screams full fear, anger and pain. Now she takes a pair if scissors and holds his tongue.
"Stay silent."
She snips the tongue of. Blood fills the mans mouth.
"Much better."
The man looks angry at Evelyn.
"Not yet. I don't like how you look at me."
She takes a needle and plug it into the mans left eye. Then she pulls the needle back out. The eye is sticking on it like a lollipop.
"This time it worked well. The last time the eye broke and was full of cracks."
She opens another drawer. It's full of colourful buttons.
"Bleu eyes...."
She takes a pair of bleu buttons and holds them next to the mans eyes.
"Perfect."
She takes the needle and thread and begins to sew the eyes on the mans eye sockets. The buttons stare at Evelyn with a blank feeling. The man remains silent and doesn't move anymore.
"Right on time. Now begins the real work."
She begins to put fake nails on him. They fit perfectly.
"Old man. Your to fat."
She cuts his body open and begins to replace all the stuff. She only takes the heart out. She puts the heart in a jar made out of glass and filled with water.
If she sews him back together he's much more thinner then before.
"Perfect, mom's going to like him."
Then she shortens the arms and legs.
"Fourteen will be good."
She keeps sewing and cutting in the soft flesh of the man.
"The heads needs to be tinier..."
She smashes his head with a hammer. And then sews it all back together. She sews the head back on the body.
"Done!"
Satisfied Evelyn looks at the body.
"Now only the heart..."
She takes a heart made of gears and metal out of a drawer. If she puts it in the body it starts ticking and the gears are starting to turn. She sews it close and looks at the results. The new born man opens his eyes.
"Congratulations! You've been reborn in a splendid new body."
He looks confused at her.
"How can this be? You're not him. Seems the experiment has failed. You're not him."
He looks even more confused at her.
"You're not him. You're not my big brother. Who are you?"
"Evan..."
He says with a raspy voice.
"I'm sorry Evan. Seems like another experiment failed."
Evelyn snaps with her fingers. The ticking sound stops. The young man sinks to the floor.
"Bye bye."
Dead he lies silent on the ground. She drags his body downstairs. If she turns on the lights a cosy shop can be seen. Big human like dolls are standing against the walls and clothes are there too. She puts him in a chair. She makes him smile and made him looking nice and warm.
"Evelyn?!"
Her mom comes inside the shop.
"I'm a little earlier then I thought."
She looks at the dol like boy sitting in the chair.
"It's beautiful made. Like always. She strokes over his cheek. How can you make such beautiful dolls out of wood and plastic?"
Evelyn smiles.
"I only use the finest products. And it's all for free."
Then her mother looks at her clothes.
"What's with all the red paint and the mask?"
She puts the mask of.
"A can of red paint fell on me and the mask was because other wise I would faint from the smell of wood. But don't worry I only need to clean my own room."
Angela smiles at her.
"Where is the man that was lying on the sofa?"
She smirks.
"He's already gone."
