Porcelain dolls

one more short tale i wrote for /x/

PORCELAIN DOLLS.


Fred woke up from his uncomfortable sleep. Not that the first class was bad, but the dreams, oh, those were dreadful. His grandmother house, old and scary, and all those dolls…

-Fuck, my head is killing me…

He press the button to call the flight attendant, he really need a aspirin… and something strong to drink.

As he straight up in his chair, he notice something eerie next to him: In the chair close to the window, at his left, a small blanket cover something.

-Strange- He think- I bought both seats… what could be it?

Curious, he pull the blanket. Underneath, a beautifully crafted porcelain doll, with long curly hair, white face and red lips.

He jump in his chair. Oh he hated those! In his mind the voice of his grandmother, proud full owner of hundreds of those creepy things:

-Freddy-She would say- pay attention to the quality of the hair! It’s the real thing. Sometimes they took the hair of dead little girls, that’s how things were back then.

Repulsing, unfunny and undeserved. He don’t bothered anyone aboard, so why would anyone pull such prank…

-Calm down… It’s just a doll. I bet a little girl left it there by mistake…

For the first time, he gave a good look around the first class: Everything was dark and quiet. Few lights were still on. He found no one sitting close to him, strange, well someone changed chairs, right. He got up and walked to one of the places where the light was on.

He bent over to start a conversation, but he almost felt backwards: A doll, a porcelain doll, sit on the chair, a book open over her frilly dress, and a cryptic look in her eyes.

Oh yes, the eyes, she was looking at him.

He went back to his seat with the heart pounding. Once there, he covered the doll, and pressed the button like mad.

-Cmmon where are the damn flight attendant?

-Excuse me sir, did you call?

Finally, she was there. He begun to turn to the voice, but what he saw hit him like a punch in the stomach. He let go a laud cry of fear: A doll, another damned porcelain doll, over the flight attendant cart. Talking to him.

--Sir!? Please, you will wake up the other passengers! What’s wrong?
He raced through the corridor, looking in every chair. And in every single one, a damned doll, looking at him, like little demons with glass eyes and wicked smiles.
Suddenly one reach and touch his shoulder, he cry and slap it away.

-NOO, get away from me! Dolls…Dolls! Everywhere!!

His only chance is to go forward, the cabin, it may be locked…but… he have to try.

Desperate, he run and see the door opening slowly.

No time to explain, he must enter!

He throw himself against the door and enter the pilots cabin:

-HELP, HELP THE…

His voice dies, as he look and see…

Dolls, Porcelain dolls, everywhere.


Hours later, a man is taken away in a straight jacket in a busy airport. A pilot talk to a flight attendant:

-What the hell was that?

-I don’t know… he just kept talking about dolls…
