Plot: The promoter receives a mysterious doll as a gift from an unknown sender. At first, they suppose it's an inoffensive toy, but strange effects start to be when the doll is around. They hear it bruiting in the night, moving on its own, and its eyes feel to follow them wherever they go. As the promoter investigates the doll's origins, they discover that it was made by a accursed dollmaker who put a piece of their own soul into each creation. The dollmaker is long dead, but their accursed dolls continue to hang those who come into possession of them. The promoter must find a way to break the curse before it's too late, or threat being trapped in a noway - ending agony with the accursed doll.

Caroline was puzzled when a mysterious package arrived at her doorstep. Inside was an old, demitasse doll with long black hair and piercing blue eyes. The doll was a beautiful but creepy sight, and Caroline felt a shiver run down her chine as she picked it up.

She searched for a card or any suggestion of who transferred the doll, but there was none. Caroline signed it off, allowing it was just an arbitrary gift from a friend or a family member.

At first, Caroline was thrilled to have the doll, and she placed it on her bed, esteeming its beauty. But strange effects began to be whenever the doll was around. She'd hear it bruiting in the night, and her hair would stand on end. The doll sounded to move on its own, and its eyes followed her wherever she went.

Caroline knew that commodity wasn't right, and she started probing the origins of the doll. She discovered that the doll was made by an accursed dollmaker who put a piece of their own soul into each creation. The dollmaker's curse lived on through the dolls, and whoever held them was doomed to a continuance of misery.

As Caroline continued to probe, she started to have intimidating agonies. In her dreams, the doll would come to life, hanging her every move. She'd wake up in a cold sweat, alarmed that the agony was real.

One night, while Caroline was asleep, the doll moved on its own and snuck up to her bed. Caroline woke up with a launch and saw the doll's cold wave, blue eyes gaping at her. She tried to scream, but her voice was trapped in her throat.

Caroline realized that she had to break the curse before it was too late. She flashed back reading about a ritual that could break the curse, and she decided to try it.

Caroline gathered all the necessary accoutrements and began the ritual. She placed the doll in a circle of swab and recited a conjuration. Suddenly, the doll began to shake violently, and a bright light filled the room. The curse was eventually broken.

Caroline breathed a shriek of relief as the doll came breathless and fell to the ground. She knew that she was eventually free from the doll's curse, but she could not shake off the feeling that commodity was still watching her.

The coming day, Caroline discovered a letter at her doorstep. It was from the accursed dollmaker, who advised her that the curse wasn't completely broken. The dollmaker's soul was still trapped inside the doll, and it was staying for the right moment to strike.

Caroline knew that she had to get relieve of the doll for good. She took it to a remote area, where she buried it deep in the ground, hoping that it would noway be set up again.

But, as Caroline walked down, she heard the faint tale of the doll, calling her name. She knew that the doll's curse hadn't been completely broken, and it would hang her ever. Caroline realized that she'd noway be free from the accursed doll's grasp, and she'd always live in fear.
