I once stumbled upon an old doll in a dusty corner of an abandoned house. Its glassy eyes seemed to follow me as I moved closer, and the frayed dress it wore was stained and faded. As I picked it up, I noticed an inscription on the back that read, “For my beloved Sarah, forever in my heart.”
Feeling a chill run down my spine, I decided to take it home, thinking it would make an interesting addition to my collection of oddities. That night, I placed the doll on a shelf in my bedroom. As I tried to sleep, I kept hearing soft whispers, almost like a lullaby, echoing through the room.
After a few nights of sleeplessness, I did some research on the house and discovered it had a tragic history involving a little girl named Sarah who had gone missing decades ago. I returned the doll to the house, hoping to put it back where I found it. As I placed it back on the shelf, I felt an overwhelming sense of calm, almost like a thank you. Since then, I’ve avoided abandoned places and have a new respect for the stories that objects can carry.
