Prompt: It's so charming! It's probably haunted and we're all going to die 


"Y'know I always thought this would be how I die." I turned around to look at Luke, "What?"

"This is how I thought I would die, of boredom at an antique store doing nothing. I was never one for extravagance now was I."

I roll my eyes. "Grow up why don't you."

Seriously though we've been here for hours love, hours". He groans as I laugh and turn down another aisle. "Aww poor Luke are you scared of little antiques?"

"Uh n-no" he stutters "I'm just bored out of my mind." He calls.

"Well sucks doesn't it." I call back as I stop in front of a little China doll.

"Luke come see! It's so charming!"

"Yeah, sure it's probably haunted and we're all going to die! I'll be outside if you need me."

I scoff at his behavior and pick up the doll. As I look at its face I get a splendid idea. I smile at the doll, "I think I'm going to buy you."
