    You had been sitting in your apartment on the couch. You were draped across the couch cushions while the TV was playing God knows what. It was late in the evening and the sun was just setting; giving off an eerie orange glow in the living room. There was a knock at the door.

    You got up to answer it, lazily dragging your feet to the door. You never had anyone knocking on your door, so you guessed it was one of your friends or something.

    It wasn't.

    It was a woman with bleached blonde hair and brown eyes, wearing a short gothic dress, heels, and a leather jacket. She smiled sweetly. Almost too sweetly.

    "Heya, sweetface. This was a gift sent to you. I think you might want it." She shoved the box into your arms and blew you a kiss before leaving in a hurry. You closed the door and walked to your kitchen, placing the box on your table. It was large and.. kind of heavy. You saw that it was already opened, so you just pulled the box flaps out from under each other to open it. It was...

    A doll. Seriously? A doll? It couldn't have been anything better? Ugh.

    You pulled it out anyway and brushed its orange hair away from its face to look at it. It had bright, piercing blue eyes, pale skin, and freckles. It was kind of... creepy. Until it spoke up.

    "Hi! I'm Chucky! Wanna play?" The doll chirped in a high pitched tone.
