“You’re the perfect host,” the doll whispered as Rajesh kissed its rosy cheek goodnight. He recoiled saying, “No – I’ll kill myself!” By dawn, it vanished, leaving only a refund slip. Days later, it appeared in the shop, its smile wider, its glass eyes hungrier, waiting for the next vulnerable soul.
