The Cursed Doll

The street was full of shops, filled with people. In one of these shops named “Dollies Dolls” A lady looking in her thirties entered and asked the old shopkeeper,

“Please show me a doll for my daughter’s third birthday.”

The old Ms. Dolly started showing her some dolls when the lady saw a beautiful doll inside a glass box,

“Ms. Dolly can I get that doll?”

“No dear, that doll is not for sale. Besides there are better dolls than that one, oh! Look here…..”

“No that doll seems perfect to me, and I would probably buy you a better deal for it.”

“Oh it’s not for money, but the doll is cursed, and… and has some supernatural power in it”

“Cursed doll! Oh seriously I don’t believe in such stories, so please get me that doll.”

“As you wish, but remember you are doing this at your own risk.”

And the lady bought the doll and took it to her home. Her flat was on the 12th floor and so she decided to take the lift, she pressed the button and the lift arrived. She entered the lift with a gift wrapped box in her hand thinking how her daughter would react after seeing the doll when suddenly the lift stopped. Then the lights of the lift started flickering. The lady panicked and started banging the metal doors with no avail. Then the box in her hand caught fire. The lady threw it pressed herself to a wall. The box burned, revealing the doll inside. The doll’s hair and cloths caught fire and cracks started appearing on the doll’s face, it’s eyes started flickering and a quirky smile appeared on its face, its mouth opened and it said:

“Stupid! Press the button to make the lift go up.”
