Doll

I studied the sand, more specifically at a doll.

It wasn't unusual for human things to fall into Hueco Mundo. Other objects were found in the dunes. Alarmingly, this…thing…was looking straight into me.

Carefully, I dragged it out of hiding. Its frayed dress and general wear told of a long life. Tilting it, the green glass eyes clicked shut. I followed the contour of its white cheek with my finger, mirroring the path of lines that were on my own face.

Some child played with this thing. Enjoyed it. Loved it.

I stuck it under my arm and walked on.


I am seriously pleased with this one and I fully expect this doll to pop up again. Maybe I'll even write a oneshot about it. I really like this concept.
