Somethings can't be fixed with a cup of coffee

Im sitting at my desk, mentally screaming for something profound to come to me. My fingers are poised on the keyboard, ready for this inspiration to come. My grandma died the other day and among the few things she left me is a doll. Now, I had never seen this doll before in my life, had no incling of familiarity with this…creature.

I use the word sparingly but i can’t really call this a doll. Like me, she is mentally screaming. I can hear her. So she must be alive. I sat her next to the computer to give me some inspiration but now that i look at her, there is something very wrong that i just can’t figure out. Maybe I’m getting paranoid.

Frustrated with myself I decide to get some coffee, regardless of the fact i probably don’t have any. But I return triumphent with my cup of stale coffee and hot water…somethings different. I sense it before i see it. The doll’s gone. On the screen words have appeared:

“It was a warm day in Pheonix when you noticed something wasn’t right…the dolls have come.”

    An infestation of dolls, or a plague, and they can type. If they just give out inspiration, good, but if they have world-domination in mind, we’re in need of a large bonfire!

    Dolls have always struck me as being creepy, but the dolls in this story downright scared me. Great story!

    Note to self: No dolls near Keyboard! Excellent job! I absolutely love this! I am probably the one of the worst people to have read this because I am so bad about posing an animal or doll atop my monitor, just to watch over me. Well, I will be re-thinking my position on that from now on. Because next time I decide to do it, I will remember this ficlet. And, shudder….

    Great creepy start. At first I was thinking, “Oh, how sweet, the doll is going to help him write.” But no, the doll’s got to go write something creepy. Stupid, creepy dolls. Nice job.
