Début
The world struggles around It, a back and forth seesaw of demand and denial. It flops inside Its box as the world spins, turned upside down. One of the shining, pearl-topped pins jabs Its leg. The pain is a shock. But It is unable to do anything about the agony. Gravity lets go and It floats for what seems an eternity before crashing into something hard.
The box remains intact, at least. Its home, Its safe haven.
Still, It has no fear, only confusion and need. Where is the girl in whose image It was created?
Silence. Darkness. Waiting.
All the while, the pin. And the pain. On and on forever.
Alice isn't popular. Alice isn't pretty. Alice isn't likable--at least, that's what she's been told most of her life. Moving to a new town hasn't helped any, not with her nasty brother torturing her almost daily and her too-cool, uber-popular cousin making her life miserable. When Alice finds an old doll in her grandmother's attic, she feels an unusual connection to it. She just can't bring herself to feel bad when horrible things start happening to the people who are cruel to her...
