Whoo, back again! Higurashi Month 2019, because it has become one of my lowkey life goals to keep perpetuating this until it becomes a proper tradition for all three-and-a-half people in this graveyard of a fandom. And then keep doing it anyways, because tradition. If you wish to check out the prompt list, its on my tumblr page under the same username.

Click, click, tick, tock
Time is winding 'round the clock
Ding, dong, won't be long
The life within us is growing strong
Cry, cry, don't say goodbye
Can't win you back no matter how we try
Sing, sing, we are puppets on your string
Your fame and fortune what we bring
We are dolls in your house
Scurry, scurry goes the mouse
Filthy, filthy, dirty louse
Such interference we don't espouse
Die, die, say goodbye
From our master, we won't untie
We are dolls in your magic house,
So about our methods, please don't grouse.
AN: This is a spiritual successor to the 5th prompt from last year's Higurashi Month, the Smoke, Fog, & Haze one. I'm rather inordinately proud of my work with that spooooky haunted dolls snippet, and its been a while since I cranked out a poem, so I felt like I should try to keep in practice…since poems really, really aren't my thing. Hence, this bit here.
