"Ta, ta, ta..."
The old clock embedded in the wall struck midnight as promised. Every time the pendulum swung, the shadow crawled an inch up the wall.
At the end of the corridor, a little girl stood there.
She held a dirty little doll in her arms. The eyes were slanted through the seams, as if someone had torn it and sewn it back up randomly. She waved to a man who was leaning against the wall smoking—very slowly, her fingers bent down one by one, like broken branches.
The man blew out a puff of smoke and squinted at her. The lights in the corridor were dim, and the little girl's face was sculpted with powder, but it was so white that it looked like it was coated with a thin layer of enamel.
"Are you willing..." Her lips moved and her voice was thin and soft, "Would you help me find something?"
