In Their Own Story
The rain hammered against the windowpane of the isolated cabin, a rhythmic drumming that Nica Pierce had come to dread. In the corner, a vintage music box began to wind itself, the melody tinny and wrong. She turned her head, her eyes widening as the lid creaked open. Inside sat not one, but three dolls, their plastic faces twisted in identical grins. The air grew heavy with the scent of sulfur and old blood. 'You can't hide forever,' a voice whispered from the shadows, belonging to no single source but vibrating through the very walls. Nica gripped her wheelchair, knowing that this time, there was no escape.
