The talking doll

A newly married couple took a new home. The wife had a separate room for her beloved doll. She loved it so much that the husband was oddly jealous of it in an odd way. He checked the doll one day to see what's so special and only found a cord on it's back. He pulled the cord and the doll said, "Hello, I love my momma!" He pulled the cord again and the same words were repeated by the doll.

After a month, the husband came back home from work drunk and angry. He started throwing and breaking things. When the wife tried to stop him, he took the knife near him and killed her. He was sad for what he has done and then started crying. He picked up the doll and pulled its cord. This time the dolls eye changed from blue to red and it said, "Why did you kill my momma ??? I loved her !!" The husband was so shocked after listening to this that he ran away to his room and locked himself in.

The next morning when the police came, the husband was found dead in his room with the doll in his hand. When the police pulled the dolls cord, it said, "he killed my momma!! So, I killed him!!"

That was an amazing story. Whenever I read horror stories my mind wanders to Goosebumps, which I used to watch. Well done.

Your stories are mesmerizing. Grammatical errors is the only problem. They are few and negligible. They don't make much difference. But it also shows that you don't recheck your stories. Else, it deserves five stars.
