On what might have been the twenty-fifth day of the journey through the ruined city, Red stumbled over a piece of rubble that came up to her knees and did not get up.

Another great world you have created. I love the idea of dolls being vessels for the lost souls. Inspiration from the American Girl Dolls?

You did really well conveying their communication efforts despite their ability to speak with one another.

Thank you! :) Of course--Felicity was there for hugs when I was voted out of the main competition, and then the thought to write about dolls followed. At first, I thought it would be ridiculous, but the idea took root and grew.

Felicity is excellent. Okay, so in this story, Red is probably a Felicity, because Felicity is the only doll with honestly red hair. The other AG redheads are just strawberry blonde.

This was very creative and a very intriguing premise. Well done!

I really love what you ended up doing with this, it turned out excellent. Compelling and spooky at the same time. It reminded me a lot of the movie 9.

Thanks a lot! I did have 9 in my head for a little while as I sketched the concept.

Thanks! I like some dolls, but others are straight from the depths of the Uncanny Valley, and eeeeeek. Sorry if I went a little too far in the direction of freaky.
