A child who cherished dolls once existed. Small dolls, big dolls, and dolls in all sorts of outfits. There was a huge selection of dolls in her house. Any time she purchased a new doll, the girl says, "I am going to buy more."

The little girl heads to the store every day to buy new toys. One day, she discovered a new store and started to search the dolls they have on sale. The child searched and tries, eventually arriving at a doll. It was an incredibly stunning doll. The child had never seen it like any other before.

The girl knew that she was going to do anything to get it. "This doll would make my collection look even more stunning. I just want to purchase that!" She rushed to a shop clerk and asked her of the doll she decided to buy. The employee replied, "Sorry miss, the doll is not for sale." The girl gets puzzled and asked, "And why not?"

The employee did not speak, looking very nervous for a quite some time. Then, suddenly he said, "You see, this doll is evil." The little girl claims she loves the doll and needed to buy it. "With my ever growing doll collection, it will fit wonderfully, and I would never encounter this same kind of doll!" Finally, the defeated worker let the girl get the doll for free, but gave the little girl a reasonable warning: "You must be mindful that the doll really is cursed and anyone with the doll would experience only bad stuff. Don't blame me if something bad happens. "

Yet the little girl was too pleased about the new doll to pay much attention to the notice. The girl went back to her place and wondered of the doll and her set. Eventually, she entered the lobby confidently and as she exited the lift in the hallway, the lobby that was usually busy, was very silent.

"This is very weird," whispered the little girl and continued towards the elevator. She clicked her floor button once she was inside the lift, but the lift did not move at all. The lift started darkening and began to shake. "What is going on right now?" In a trembling voice, she questioned.

The doll in the girl's arms also trembled right at that same moment. The little girl glanced to the doll, just to see that the doll was looking straight at her with a menacing glare and a sinister grin. Instantly, lift door began to close and the hallway was filled with a scary chuckle and a distant scream.

The girl was never seen or heard from again.
