I love your dialogues. You always do such a good job with them. I like where you went with this challenge.

The dialogue here is witty and fast-paced. I feel like I know David. Very creative, given the picture of the doll. Now that you mention it, there is a slight Shirley Temple resemblance. Oh wait, I meant Shirley Temple Black. I always forget that. ;-)

Fabulous dialogue, and not a scary or freaky doll story! Dude, you totally captured vague.
