One of the things we found
Well, more than one, but like
Collectively
We found
Dolls
Lots and lots of dolls
We go in the house
And, at first, everything seems...fine
And then we start, uh
Going through rooms
And immediately
Immediately
There are dolls
Everywhere
Just...dolls
Uh, and that’s one thing
Like, put a pin in that
Because--
I mean, maybe I’m understating this
Like, how many dolls we’re--
A hundred
Okay
A--we know that now
We know that there were
A hundred dolls
And that, in and of itself--
And these are the scary type dolls, okay?
I mean, I don’t want to undersell that
I mean, I don’t want to undersell that
These are the freaky dolls
With the eyes that always look
Like they’re moving
And, like, maybe they’re possessed?
Who knows?
Who wants to know
Who knows?
Who wants to know
I don’t
But there we are
In the house
My aunt’s house
My aunt who I never met
But who was named--
Okay, plot point here--
Her name was Sarah
She was Aunt Sarah
Who I never met
But who sent me a box of raisin cookies
Two days after Christmas
Every year
Two
Days
After
Christmas
I don’t even--
Okay, pin in the whole--
What did we put the pin in?
Right, that there were a hundred dolls--
Right, that there were a hundred dolls--
A HUNDRED DOLLS
Dolls everywhere
Dolls everywhere
And not in the logical place
For there to be dolls either
Not that there are logical places for dolls
Except for, like, doll shops
And dollhouses and--
And dollhouses and--
I mean, there were dolls
In the freezer
There were dolls in the cupboards
There were dolls in the shower
And those dolls
Had little shower caps on
And no clothing
And I fucking screamed
When I saw that shit
Let me tell you
But here’s the thing, okay?
Okay?
Now we’re getting
Now we’re getting
To the good stuff
Each of the dolls
Each and every single one
Of the dolls
Even the naked ones
Had the name ‘Sarah’
Written ON ITS FUCKING FACE
Sarah--like my aunt’s name
On
Its
Face
ARE
YOU
DEAD?
Are you even living
DEAD?
Are you even living
At this point?
What do you even do with that?
LIke, how do you unpack that?
I mean, you have to unpack it
What do you even do with that?
LIke, how do you unpack that?
I mean, you have to unpack it
Because there were literally
Suitcases
With nothing but dolls in them
A hundred dolls named Sarah
I was like--Let’s just burn the house down
I mean, there’s no purifying that shit
If any place on earth is haunted
It’s that house
You cannot put a hundred dolls in a house
And write your name across their face
In what looked to be blood red paint,
And not actual blood, but, like--
Let’s not ask THAT question, shall we?
You can’t do all that
And then not wind up
Summoning some, like
Deep ancestral demons
From the past
It’s just not possible
It’s just not
So--
I don’t know what we’re going to do with the house
Or the dolls
Or the cats we found in the--
Oh my god, the cats
Well, the cats are--
Jesus
That’s a whole other story
Right there
