10 Day Challenge: Day 6- Gothic picture

So at this point in the challenge, I'm just going to post the day's picture whenever I have the time. -____-

 

So today's theme is Gothic, but I don't have any gothic themed dolls so here's a weird little story I came up with one day while playing with my little sister's dolls.

 

In some third world country, lives a beautiful young Asiatic slave girl in a traveling circus. She was taken in from the streets to be the puppeteer's assistant, and she spends most of her time in the backroom where all of the puppets are kept. One day one of the puppets starts speaking to her, and tells her his sad fate of being a puppet made of scraps no longer fit to perform on the stage. He tells her that if she can get him to perform just once on the stage, his lifelike movement and voice will enchant the audience, making her puppet act famous so she can rise from her status as a slave. Desperate for a chance at a better life, she suggests the performance, and once her request is granted, the puppet's act is a roaring success. Every day afterwards becomes a struggle for her to raise enough money to run away and make a life for herself elsewhere.

 

The story was pretty dark with the question of the puppet being truly alive never fully answered. He's alive in the girl's presence and on the stage, but the rest of the time he's just an inanimate puppet, raising the question if he's really alive or just a part of the girl's twisted imagination.

 

This is what happens when I actually "play" with dolls. >__<
