Every since I was a kid, I was really fond of dolls. Barbie, American Girl, plushes, and teddy bears. You name it and I pretty much had the biggest collection amongst my friends. Everytime my family went to the mall I would beg my parents to buy me a new one.

Now as a college student, I came back to my old room. My boyfriend liked to collect antiques, so I thought it would be nice to give him one of my old ones. It's been a long time, ever since I left my home when I was 6. I thought I would come back to the smiling faces of my precious dolls again.

So what the hell are these things am I looking at? Are these really the dolls I adored so mcuh when I was 4-5 years-old? My mom noticed my reaction, and told me a secret she's been keeping all these years.

Back when I was a little girl, my mom told me I had an "episode" with these dolls. She was completely ignorant of this until she came into my room to clean. As soon as she entered, she saw what I did to those dolls. I had multilated all of them in a disturbing manner. Some of them had their eyes gouged out, others had their arms popped out of the socket, and others where hanging from the ceiling by their necks. Their body parts were littered on the floor. They were all facing the same direction; the doorway.

My mom freaked out when she saw all of this and put all over them in a plastic bag and threw them out. She told me when i came back from the kindergarden, I didn't whined or cried about the loss. Instead, I went to the dumpster and brought the plastic bag back, with creepy yet empty expression on my face.

She sent me to my grandparents place to be raised there, and locked away the door to my room, with all of them still inside. Strangely, I made no resistance when I was moved out.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. As I sat in my dusty old bed, i picked up one of the dolls on the floor. I stared at it for quite some time.

All these dolls that looked so hideous. They were looking so lovely and beautiful now
