Alex's Doll | Penana

[Formerly Jess Rufus!]

If you listen to the void for long enough, you can sometimes hear me yeeting myself out of oblivion to write something substantial.

The query "uploading schedule" returned an error 404, though.

I have a plot sometimes. Mostly, I'm planning and designing characters for no apparent reason other than "ooo look at these cool personality traiiiiits".

I'm a hobbyist writer and (digital) artist! I've also coded three short games, somehow. I like to consider myself a jack of as many trades as possible, but I'll master something eventually. Other pasttimes include trying to become fluent in another three languages (Thai, Japanese, Latin) whilst also trying to remember my mother tongue, UK-English.

A note for those looking through my portfolio: I've been on Penana for a long time, so please check the date of publication! Don't fall into the illusion that something from three years ago still accurately represents my writing skills nowadays. I like to think I've improved a little.

Chapter 1: Home from school

Chaper 2: Meeting the doll

'"Alexandria... You're... Beautiful..." Alex mumbled, tears still his eyes, stroking her dusty brown curls.

He stared deep into the glass eye. He knew he should have been scared, terrified, but he didn't. He felt... comforted. He pulled the doll closer, not realising her arm raising slowly, reaching onto his arm."

As Alex's life slowly falls apart, he turns to his only remaining source of comfort; a battered, neglected, worn-out doll.

He turns to her every single night for reassurance, a will to live. But then he experiences something truly disturbing - something he will never, ever forget...

Hey, guys! I though it would be worth mentioning that I got the inspiration for this story from this video... (I do not own anything apart from the story!!!)

If the video fails the link is also here:

Recognise it, @Lata?

It's mainly based on Quattro and his family from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (Which I don't own). The song 'Dollhouse' by Melanie Martinez (which I don't own either) is based on his 'Junk Puppet' deck (not owned by me) which consists of puppets and 'Gimmick Puppet Doll' (shown by the cover as well) which I do not own...

It's scary but I love it. Yeah, I know, I'm weird... but I do.

So, without any more if my ranting, enjoy!
