Bleeding Hearts

Dani Tores has a bland life. For a 26 year old with no family to contact, and living in a small town in the middle of no where, she realizes that she's lacking adventure.

Alexander Locke. The Mountain Man. He's seen as nothing more than a savage. A beast. Living all by himself in the middle of the woods, he only comes down once every few months to trade supplies for cash.

So when the two start to find happiness within one another everyone begins to doubt the true intentions of their friendship.

Throw in a stalker and a few murder cases, Dani questions if this is the kind of adventure she's been craving all along.

Not Everyone Is Who They Say They Are.

"Is that...no it can't be. That looks like...," she trails off slightly, not believing what she's seeing.

"Me," I say quietly, finishing her statement.

Right in the middle sat a doll, poise and upright with a blue cafe dress on. Wavy auburn hair falls down to her waist and where her eyes should've been are circular black buttons.

How psychotic does someone have to be to make a replica of someone else and turn them into a doll?
