Today, I made a doll of mine believe she had been kidnapped.
I made her head heavy with fog as if she was waking up from a forced slumber.
I made her think that the very room she was in was an almost perfect imitation.
I laced her heart with a panic that she didn't know was completely safe.
I bound her wrists and ankles to her chair with just my words.
Then, in all the confusion and uncertainty I told her plainly that she had been truly stolen away.
That if she was able to leave her chair she would fall through the bubble I had woven around her that perfectly reflected the room she used to be in.
That her chair in her real room was now empty.
That no one would know where she went.
That she belonged to me now.
That I wanted to play.
