Good stuff. For the briefest of moments I was suspicious we would be getting another iteration of the witches plot line, but this works great as standalone regardless. The doll really being alive is a given ofc, but there was a nice layer of ambiguity regarding the identity of this Beatrice right until the end there.
I'll say this - pretty much any story I publish in this format (i.e. the internet "found footage") is part of the overarching Witches narrative. I always intended these pieces to be the groundwork for something bigger but can also work as stand-alone stories if I never get to that point. The fact that it came off as a stand-alone story means that I hit that mark, so I appreciate the feedback!
You know, I was thinking about it, and I don't actually see the boomer women in my life doing this. I'd say there's something typical about that, what with breaking with established traditions, but at the same time, maybe this one isn't so bad.
Just kidding. All children deserve to have their God-given right of creeped out by weird dolls fulfilled. It's a crucial developmental experience.

Who's to say this isn't a part of the greater Witches narrative? Not every witch wears a hat. The hat is a formality more than anything.
Touche crafty one, touche.

Old lady doll collecting is absolutely a universal law, and I won't brook any disagreement with us on this one!
