The Whispering Doll

Lucy loved her antique doll, a family heirloom passed down through generations. But as she grew older, the doll began to unnerve her. One night, she swore she heard it whispering her name. She brushed it off as her imagination, but each night the whispers grew louder, more insistent. Finally, she locked it away in the attic. But the next morning, the doll was back on her dresser, its glass eyes fixed on her. A small note lay beside it, in shaky handwriting: "I’ll never leave you."
