《Sally (Book 1)》Chapter 25: Library
Advertisement
Angela woke up and went to her window and opened the curtains. It was a sunny Saturday. Angela got dressed and put her glasses on. She decided to go to the Willis Public Library.
Angela loves the library. She likes sitting on the bean bags and reads a novel or 2. She decided to walk since it wasn't a long way.
Once she got to the library she went to greet Mrs Adasign. She was..... old. Maybe even..... Ancient, but Angela adored her. "Hi Mrs Adasign! Do you have any books for me?" She shook her head. "Not today sweetie."
The old lady was carrying a box of old video tapes. Angela's eyes shimmered with curiosity. "What are those?" Mrs Adasign smiled. "They are my old tapes from the past." Angela peeked through it and grabbed a tape that had "Sally" on it. Mrs Adasign looked at it. "Oh I remember that tape, why don't we watch it?" Mrs Adasign slowly walked to the screening room and put the tape in the old tape player. She pushed play.
At first the tv was fuzzy and then it changed to a picture of little kids all happy and running around with dolls that looked like Sally. Then a song came on. It was really cheerful and annoying. "Sally, She's the doll we love! Sally, everyone can't get enough!! Sally will be your bestt friendd". Then it went fuzzy again with black and white dots everywhere. "Oh gosh darn it. It always ends there. Well I must go stamp due-date cards". Mrs Adasign left and shut the door. Angels just stood there quiet, the only sound was the fuzzy tv. Then she heard dark music come on. She slowly turned around to see the tv screen with a lifeless child with bloody dolls everywhere. "She will never leave your side! She's always watching you........ Everything you do...... Aaaaaaaaa!......... Dark Sally....... Darrrkkkkk sallllyyyyy!! Don't leave her or she will find you! Sally the evill dolllll...."

Then the tv turned off. Angela ran out if the room and tripped over a box of newspapers Mrs Adasign left on the floor. She picked one up and looked at the front page. It was 1956 and the too said "Sally Canceled"
She opened it and read it. "Sally doll was canceled in 1956. All the dolls were somehow reported haunted and blaming innocent children. They burned the whole stock of dolls and have the souls in a glass box at the bottom of the ocean, but there was one girl who kept hers as history. Her name is Katrina Ooga and she finally put it in a non breaking glass box."
Angela ran to the computer and typed in "Katrina Ooga". There was an ad that popped up. "Madame Ooga's Magical Shop. Full of potions and voodoos.. Want to meet me? I live at Mussy Swamp Willis 7849 01. I look forward to meeting you"
Angela ran out of the library and rode the bus to her address. When she got there, she knocked on the old door. Madame Ooga opened it. "Come in come in" she pulled Angela inside and sat her in a skeleton chair. She felt uncomfortable.
"Now child, you want to know about the Sally doll yes?" Angela nodded. Madame Ooga stumbled to the book case and pulled out a dusty leather brown book and opened it.
It had different pictures of dolls with facts about them and she stopped flipping the pages when it came to Sally. "This is the doll you want yes?"
She saw the picture of Angela's blue eyes and blond hair and quickly glanced away. "Yes that's it".
Madame Ooga sighed. "Well I already sold her to an oddly couple. They bought her for her daughters birthday. What fools. I told them not to buy her but they didn't listen. How selfish to out their child in danger because of that."

Angela gulped. "Madame Ooga.. I have the doll!!!" Madame Ooga froze. "What?! You have it?" Madame Ooga stumbled to the light switch and turned off the lights. Then she got a flashlight and shined it on her face. "Listen to me, you have to get rid of her!!!! She's evil!!! Do it Before she gets rid of YOU!"
Madame Ooga flicked the lights back on. "Okay now for payment. It's gonna cost you 50 dollars." Angela dug around her pocket and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. "I only have a hundred." Madame Ooga snatched it. "That will do." Then she shoved Angela out the door and Angela rode the bus home.
She looked for Sally but couldn't find her. So she went to bed and drifted to sleep, scared and frightened.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
