And so it does its best to make its witch proud of it.
It puts its all into everything it does.
Even if its all doesn't amount to much more than a cursory effort by comparison.
How little it can do when compared to almost anyone or anything else...

They're both under an umbrella!
The doll holds it!
Which means that the witch's head is almost touching the umbrella!
Part of her wants to ask to hold the umbrella instead...
But the doll looks so proud of itself!

The witch looks over at his doll.
Who continues.
"Despite how painful and unforgiving and cruel this world is... Despite everything, I would live for you."
The witch nods. And responds.
"I would live for you too."

A witch and a doll.
Rocking it slowly.
Gently.
He leans over it.
And kisses its forehead.
The doll smiles.
And closes its eyes.
Safe in its witch's embrace.
"I promise that I'll do my best to keep you safe."
The doll grins!
"And I promise the same!"

The doll stops what it's doing to pay attention to the witch.
"Everything that we ever cared for..."
He takes a sip from his glass.
"All will return to dust."

"We have two prescriptions ready for you."
"Thank you."
The pharmacist leaves the register.
And the witch...
She waits nervously.

"Of course, Miss!"
The witch smiles at his doll.
Yes.
The two will carry on.
No matter the struggles that lie ahead.
They will carry on.

And so he yearns for his doll.
And, when it answers, he embraces it tightly.
Burying his face into it.
Together, he says.
Together, together, together.
The doll reaches up and pats his head.
Brushing its hand along his short hair.
Warmth.

And, all at once, the witch stops what she was doing.
She opens up a document, and...
The story flows from her fingers.
Perhaps not all at once.
But so the story comes.
And so the witch brings her image to life.

They've been together for ages!
Long enough that neither of them quite remember when they first met!
When they first noticed they forgot, it was... A little worrying.
But...
But...!
The doll hugs the witch.
It's okay, it mumbles.
It's okay.

Not a person.
Inhuman.
But not sub-human.
Don't you dare forget it.

The doll turns to its witch!
It didn't expect her to be awake this early!
"Yes, Miss?"
"I love you..."
And so the witch snuggles close with her doll.
Back to sleep.
Awake for only a moment.
But an important moment nonetheless.

She speaks of the love she has for her doll.
How she doesn't deserve such a wonderful thing.
That she's lucky to know it.

And so she writes.
Letting herself helpless wander in her words.
Aimless.
Hopeless.
Excruciating.
...
A story told to scream.

What sayeth you?
And the witch...
She is quiet for a moment.
She closes her eyes.
Clutches her hands to her heart.
And.
All at once.

It and its witch aren't doing anything particularly special this year! Just dressing up in costumes and handing out candy!
In time, the night grows deep and the trick or treaters peter out.

And still she waits.
Watching others pass her by.
And so she continues to wait.
For her special something.
Patiently.
Oh so patiently.
She knows her patience will be rewarded.
Sooner or later, anyway.

It's been out on a trip! Reason? Visiting friends!
It's been gone a while.
She misses her doll.
And, soon, she will have her doll again!
All that's left...
Is to wait for her doll at this airport terminal.

"Probably not."
"Do you think that's okay?"
The witch tips her hat.
"I'm okay with that."
The doll tilts its head.
"Why?"
The witch takes the doll into an embrace.
"I'm happy enough being known by you."
"Probably not."

Just a little game that they play now and then! Sometimes with just each other, sometimes with a number of friends!
There's a certain magic to how the with plays, admittedly.
Always for fun, and almost never searching for the win.

"Sorry," says the doll.
The witch pauses a moment.
Sets down her tools.
And weaves her fingers through the doll's hair.
"You're okay, my dolly."

"You're okay, my dolly."
"Yes Miss?"
The witch hugs her microphone.
"Thank you for always responding when I call out to you."
"Of course, Miss."
"It really means a lot to me."
"Oh Miss..."
A witch and her doll.
Even apart, they are together.

It looks... More and more messy and crude and...
Her fingers go to her scars unbidden.
But she catches herself.
Forces her hand away from the itch, holding it up in front of her face.
She forms a fist.
And releases it.

And releases it.
She sits and stares at something her eyes can't quite see.
Something far, far away.
And she thinks to herself.
'I am a tortured artist.'
'I write my best when I'm at my lowest.'
She scratches at scars on her arms.
But then -
Her doll's hands.
