Hey Momo!
RandomTalks here with a short review!
Okay, I need a moment to clear my thoughts first. This was truly something else, I am sure I will not be the first to say that I absolutely did not see that coming.
I wake up with a smile on my face. Granted, I always do. It's molded on my face, after all.
Your introduction was extremely intriguing and from the very first words, you get this upsetting feeling in the pit of your stomach that simply screams something is not right. Especially your use of the word 'molded', it was subtle and brilliant at the same time.
I have a knife.
I love my knife.
The way you narrated the story in the first person made it all the more chilling. You did not use big and complicated words and were rather direct and straightforward in your narration. And I guess, in stories like these directness is more than appreciated. It matched so well with the tone of the story and I honestly got goosebumps when I read this part. What in the world is a doll doing with a knife?
I liked the way you kept it vague, not giving us any more information than was needed for the story. It makes you wonder and question and just sit still for a while trying to to understand what happened. Your word choice especially was so very cunning, and I don't think you could have narrated the doll's perspective any better than you have. Ah, now I will be dreaming about a doll in a red dress, grinning at me while holding a knife. I thank you for that imagery.
At least, I have learned from this never to guess the story after reading just the title. This has taught me forever.
Keep up the brilliant work and I hope you have a great day!
