Dolls

Chapter 1: Introduction

The year is 1939 and I was walking home from work when I saw the shop. It was small and was run by a young couple. The young female was in about her 20s. The man looked around that age too...but the bags under his eyes made him seem much older. I thought nothing of it and kept walking as a small girl pushed past me. I would have asked where her mother was but I have important issues to attend to. I looked at the officers who where questioning me. "I didn't want to bother the girl....she seemed so happy that I didn't want to ruin her mood. I had no idea she went missing until now." I was shaking....but why? I did nothing wrong. So then why the hell am I so scared?! The officer looked at me concerned before uttering words to his partner. I didn't hear what he said. Now you all are probably confused on who or what I am at this point. My name is William Hatchet. I work for the bakery down the road....right next to the toy shop. It was about a half hour walk back home....so I always walked. But enough about all that....it's not me who matters....the one who matters is missing....though I might know where she has gone. Past the old windmill and the old cat that always sleeps by the empty, rotting home that we all complain about but don't try to fix. As you most likely guess we live in a small rural town. The town we live in is called Montgomery's hill....though no one knows why.  That shop that I keep talking about is the smallest building here....it's rusty and old....not even that damn cat will go near the thing. It always smells like cheap perfume and melted plastic. Once I even saw a speck of blood near the basement hatch. Strange right? I know. So anyways I'm not here to go on about myself or this horror movie like town....I'm here to talk about the girl....young Luka Mercy.
