Her
glassy eyes drove me mad. In a fit of
rage, I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She said something in that dull, mechanical
voice of hers as I slapped her down on the counter, but I refused to
listen. Instead I raised the knife high
in the air and crashed the knife down across her
neck, like a human guillotine.
Her
round plastic head jerked back, separated from its body. It balanced on the edge of the counter for a
long second; she cast me one last glassy-eyed look before her head then hit the floor. It seemed to roll forever, until it finally came to
rest underneath the sink.
I laid the knife down on the counter. With some uncertainty, I pushed my fist into
her dolly stomach, but nothing happened.
She was silent at last.
I
had killed it. I had killed the doll.
