Tell the sorry dolls...I'm sure they care because I don't!"<br /><br />This says so much to me about how one person can take all the joy out of another's life.<br /><br />The sorrydolls aren't hungry, they never are--<br />they are stuffed sick with empty.<br /><br />Really, excellent.

The dolls seem both enigmatic and emblematic, of something, some failure, some curse the narrator has incurred unintentionally that yet comes home in these subtle and niggling ways. Then the end--I just pulled hair out and raised my eyes to the heavens--that is one slap in the face finish Shay--really fine writing.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
