A doll.

It is well beloved in its circles.

Patient, kind, open minded... Accepting of any and all who comes its way, always ready with a smile and encouragement, always willing to listen and spend time with you.

Its witch must have raised it well.

A doll feeling under the weather.

It's woken up a few times only to fall back asleep once more.

Its witch has made sure it's taken its medicine and had some food.

But she assures it that it's okay for it to rest.

For however long it needs.

It's still a good doll.

The doll isn't good with needles, truth be told.

It hates whenever it has to get its blood drawn, when it receives vaccines...

Truth knows that it needs them, but that doesn't stop it from disliking them!

Its witch... is more or less the same, to be honest.

A witch searching for her doll.

It was due back an hour ago. Work isn't more than an hour away. And it hasn't responded to her text messages.

Worried thoughts run through her head.

What if its tension ran out while it was driving?

A doll that needs to be rewound.

Its mainspring tension is low. It doesn't know how long it has left before it stops working entirely.

It's time to go home.

It needs to be near its witch when it happens.

She's the only one that can rewind it.

It's... Stressed.

A witch.

She gazes at the sunset as her doll drives her home.

Or, well, not really gazing. Just closing her eyes and facing the sun.

Red behind her eyelids and warmth on her skin.

Soon they'll be home.

Some five days away and now they return.

It'll be good to be home.

The witch thinks to herself.

Last time she went on a trip like this, the ideas came forth like a pure mountain spring.

But, this time, it's quiet inside her mind.

The doll, it notices her quiet distress, asks her what's wrong!

A doll and witch at a theme park!

They were kinda lost earlier, but now they know where they are!

They're at the pizza shop!

Theme park and a pizza! What could be better!

Pizza and a ride afterward!

Tho maybe they should let their food settle first!

Yeah. That's a good plan.

A witch late at night.

She has tried and failed to go to sleep.

This isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last.

It's because of a sort of twisting feeling in her stomach that happens when she lays down for long enough but doesn't fall asleep.

"Have you ever thought about turning me into a doll?"

...

"The thought has crossed my mind, now that you mention it."

"What's stopped you?"

"Well... I like you as you are."

"I see."

...

Hush now, little one.

Let my magic do its work.

Everything is going to be okay.

I would have told you "no" if I thought I wouldn't be able to help.

You've already earned this just by making it this far.

A doll and a witch.

And, together, they defy the odds.

Sometimes communication doesn't come easily.

Sometimes their partnership is fraught with tension.

But they don't give up on the other.

After all.

They've come this far together.

What's one day more?
January 14, 2026 at 6:39 AM
A doll and a witch.

At first, they only knew each other tangentially.

Then they spent a lunch hour together.

Few words passed between them.

But they started to eat together more and more.

One day, one was missing.

But the other sat in the same spot regardless.

It's... Kinda silly when you take a step back and look at it all.

Witches, dolls, angels, demons, moths...

Names that we have taken from elsewhere and applied to ourselves.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

They're labels that we've chosen for ourselves.
January 12, 2026 at 6:16 AM
There's nothing that I wouldn't give to see you again.

But you're gone. And...

There's nothing I can do to change that.

...

But my memories of you will continue to bear me forward.
January 11, 2026 at 1:43 AM
I love you, you know that, right?

No matter how many slips you make, no matter how many times you fall, no matter how often you need help getting back up.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

You're worth every second.

It's a quiet something, a seed of inspiration.

And, more often than not, it won't grow into anything notable.

But it's still nice to feel that yearning in my heart.

That, despite everything, the grounds of my mind and heart are still fertile enough to host such seeds.

If at all possible, I'd like you to outlive me.

Not because I don't want us to be there for each other at the end, not at all.

Just...

I think a world without you wouldn't...

...

Well, you'd think the same of me, I'd like to think.

That you'd want me to outlive you, too.

A doll.

It doesn't need many things.

It doesn't need food nor drink nor warmth and the like.

...

It doesn't need any of it.

But...

That's not to say that such things go unappreciated.

There are songs that you will only hear once and never again.

So the same goes for witches and dolls, angels and demons and moths and the like.

Take not for granted the time you spend with them.

A witch that sings his doll a lullaby.

It's just a song that he's heard before. He reads the lyrics from his phone.

But the doll doesn't mind! It's nice to listen to its witch sing!

There was a time when he didn't sing at all.

So this lullaby is a nice change!

The doll sleeps quietly by its witch's side.

The witch lies awake, facing it.

He bows his head into its chest.

"I love you. I hope you know that."

The doll doesn't stir.

Its breathing remains quiet and steady.

And the witch...

He remains.

"hello."

"hello Sir is there something on your mind."

"just you. i wanted to talk with you."

"talk about what?"

"i just wanted to talk with you. nothing really in particular."

A doll and witch on New Year's Day.

The first few minutes of another year.

In years past, they have watched the sunrise and shared hot chocolate together.

This year... They're sharing bowls of homemade fried rice! A special Tagalog recipe passed down from the doll's birth mother!

A doll and witch on New Year's Eve.

This year has been... Really scary, admittedly.

And it seems that next year is shaping up to be scary as well.

...

But!

Despite all of that, they have each other!
