I love this. It paints a vivid and unsettling picture from beginning to end. You do a great job of invoking the senses in this piece and it really transports the reader to the mean lady's house along with Em.

What if I let you in on a secret? That was my grandmother and I.
Wow. No wonder you are able to paint such a vivid picture. I am sorry you had to deal with that. It is really troubling and confusing , as a child, to be mistreated by someone who is supposed to 'take care of you.'
Very true, most of my stories are creative non fiction. So some are loosely based on fact and others just a small portion. But I will continue the story because the dolls really came to life! If you know anything about me ... my family has the gift ...
When I was a bout that same age a small elephant statue came to life during a party my parents were having. I went to the other room to tell all the adults and none of them would believe me and thought I was being silly. It was very frustrating. Maybe I will write a story about it sometime and post it. When I tell people now they assume I must have been dreaming, but it seemed so real. I have the statue now.
Yikes! Tell it!! But you have it? Eeekkkkkk
Does it come to life? What if it’s cursed?
Yep still have it. It was just that one time. It didn't seem threatening. It just looked at me and raised its trunk.
Wow I wonder why only once?
