Mastering Narration

          ALMA

          One snowy day in a what appears to be a secluded city, a young girl named Alma was walking down an alley. In the alley, there was a shop and lots of walls. Among those walls there was one where there was names written on it. The shop had windows that arranged into a menacing face but the dolls in the shop drew attention from it. The wall of names was spotted by Alma and without hesitation she added her name to the wall as well.

          After writing her name on the wall, Alma turned around to see a doll in a shop, the shop with the menacing face. Enchanted by the doll in the shop, Alma walked towards the shop's window to have a closer look. Surprised, that the doll looked like her and was wearing the exact same outfit, she looked again to confirm, only to see the doll gone.

          Alma looked through the window to see the doll standing on a table. She then attempted to open the door to the shop but failed many times as the door refused to open. Convinced that the door wasn't going to open she began to walk away, but just as she was about to, the door opened. With glee Alma entered the store, unaware that the door behind her was slowly closing.

          While walking towards the table, she stumbled upon another doll, a boy riding a windup bicycle on it's side. She set the doll on the bicycle upright then the doll began to head for the open door on it's windup bike, but the door closed before the doll could escape. Alma returned to the table to see the doll disappear again.

          Determined to have the doll as her own she frantically began to look for it. Alma then spotted it on a shelf with other dolls. As she began walking towards the shelf and eventually climbing it, the dolls on the shelf remained motionless except for their eyes which appeared to be fixed on Alma who remains unaware of their wandering eyes.

          As the dolls were watching Alma, who was on her toes stretching to reach the doll, finally touched the doll and suddenly felt a rushing surge. Alma woke up, confused why her vision is from a high view and why she was unable to speak or move. Realization began to take over Alma as she sees herself surrounded by dolls who also have suffered the same fate she has, having their spirits transferred to their dolls.

          A squeaking like sound came from the floor of the shop. Alma and the other dolls watched with their eyes to see another doll emerge from the floor. The doll had red hair and was wearing a red dress. The doll was then displayed by the window, waiting for it's next victim.
