DOROTHY DOLLS

"Hurry up, Lisa! Make a wish and blow the candles!" exclaimed Mr and Mrs. Jones. It was
Lisa's 7th birthday and the Jones were celebrating it in their large, luxurious living
room. Lisa was the happiest girl because she basically had everything, every toy she
wanted. Her parents had her in their mid forties, so Lisa was a very valuable gift to
them. So that was the reason why they bought her everything she asked for, making her the
happiest yet the brattiest kid on earth.
After Lisa made a wish and blew her candles off, Mr. Jones brought a huge box wrapped in
fancy paper. With excitement, Lisa hurriedly unwrapped the box and took our the precious
gift that was lying there. Lisa stared into the eyes of the life-sized doll with
amazement, it was as though she was staring into a mirror.
"Oh, thanks mommy and daddy! This is the best thing I've ever gotten in my whole entire
life! I'm going to name my new doll Dorothy!" cried Lisa with joy. 
From that day on, Dorothy took a big portion of Lisa's life because she shared everything
with her doll. They did everything together and even dressed alike. It was as if Dorothy
had become Lisa's twin sister.
However as time passed by and Lisa aged, Dorothy slowly faded away from Lisa's life.
Dorothy was no longer her favorite doll. Actually, Lisa no longer played with dolls; she
was too busy playing with her friends and shopping. Dorothy, who used to sleep besides
Lisa on her comfortable, laced bed, now slept in an old, dirty toy box along with other
ugly, useless toys. 
Meanwhile, Lisa was becoming a messed up teenager. Her parents' love had turned her into
a slick, evil brat who only cared for herself. All she did in return of the love her
parents had poured to her, was to occasionally run away from home and to perform poorly
in school. 
Due to the many problems Lisa was causing both at home and school, her parents decided to
move to a small town in Colorado. On the day they were moving, Lisa was going through her
things to throw away anything that was unnecessary. As she opened up the toy box, she saw
Dorothy, her favorite doll that had been isolated for years. As she stared at her doll,
something on the doll's face grabbed her attention. The doll's happy, smiley face had
been slightly changed. The happy lips that were curved upward, weren't smiling anymore,
and the beautiful big eyes were filled with evilness. This slight alteration was
extremely bothersome for Lisa and she couldn't help thinking about Dorothy. So she just
threw Dorothy to her bed and left the room.
Even after the Jones moved to Colorado, Lisa wasn't improving a slight bit. Worst of all,
she was getting into more mess and problems, her life was like a swamp. She was involved
in many serious fights and put her hands on harmful drugs. She was ruining both her life
and her parents lives.
One night, after a long fight with her parents, Lisa fell asleep on her bed. Suddenly,
she felt like someone was staring at her, so she opened her eyes. Dorothy was standing
next to her bed smiling very wickedly as she held up a very sharp knife. Lisa began
screaming and yelling for help but no sound came out of her mouth. She looked at Dorothy
with pleading, sorrowful eyes, and sincerely asked for forgiveness. "I'll never treat you
bad again, Dorothy... Never again..." thought Lisa over and over. As if she had
understood Lisa's mind, Dorothy dropped the knife and disappeared. Then, with a deep
sigh, Lisa opened her eyes, and looked around. She then realized that it was only a very
nasty dream.
The following morning, as soon as she rose from her bed, she walked to the toy box and
opened it harshly. She grabbed Dorothy and glared at her. Dorothy's face has been changed
to the point where even Lisa couldn't tell what she looked like before. Even though the
change in Dorothy's face made Lisa feel a little bit guilty, she decided to ignore it and
get rid of her as soon as possible. 
"I swear I'm going to burn you to death today, Dorothy. It's revenge from last night... I
know it was just a dream, but you were going to kill me, I can't forgive you anymore! "
yelled Lisa furiously. 
Holding Dorothy tightly between her fingers, Lisa ran out and headed to the play ground
where she was going to burn Dorothy. As Lisa was crossing the street, a car was quickly
coming in the direction towards Lisa. However, Lisa didn't notice the car because her
mind was full of anger and fury. Suddenly, a big BOOM was heard and a crowd ran to see
what had happened. They all gathered around the car and pitifully looked at the victim, a
bloody girl holding a doll with the prettiest smile.
