Finding Her Doll Sarah

Martha’s doll, Sarah, was confiscated years ago. She always suspected her brother, Larry. He emphatically denied taking Sarah. After their parents’ deaths, thirty years later…. She discovered Sarah floating in Larry’s koi pond. Her stomach had been hollowed out. She was a floating planter; very creepy and sad. She wondered if their parents knew how psycho their son was. “You should come out more often,” Larry said. He had sneaked up behind her. She felt the hair raise on her neck. Fat chance, she thought, but she kept silent.

Hmmm...I'd put all the distance I could between me and that creep. I think Martha got the message!

My really close friend has the creepiest brother ever; I thought of him as I wrote this.
