“I tricked you… you won’t trouble me while I take back what belongs to me… and you know what it is…” The shouts stopped abruptly, the light bulb flickered before shattering and it all went pitch black.
‘‘Who are you?“ dad asked. “What is it that you want to take back from me?“ The doll just stared at him quietly. This silence was ringing in the ears. The family hoped that nothing would happen and went to sleep. After a calm night the family got together for breakfast. While eating, the youngest sister started talking: “I had this weird dream tonight. I dreamt that I was going up the stairs but the stairs looked like they would never end“. Her brother joined the conversation: “I saw stairs in my dream, too! But when I reached the top of them I found an old wooden door“. One more sister joined: “I had a dream like you two, but I was able to open that door and when I did that I found a light and beautiful room“. Brother decided to join this talk, too: “My dream was really similar! I was standing in a nice room that looked exactly like our attic. In the middle of it there was a woman sitting on a chair sewing something that looked like a doll“. Dad listened carefully and then said: “Kids! Can‘t you see? You all had the same dream!“.
