Dolls

De: Michael Hiebert

Narrado por: Luanne E. Martucci

Careful what you wish for....

Kite Morgan's in sixth grade when she has her first fight. It's with a girl named Carla Bell, and Kite loses. She comes home and creates a paper doll resembling Carla and, in a fit of fury, runs the doll over with her little brother's Tonka truck.

Outside, sirens wail as emergency vehicles race past Kite's house.

Kite finds the real Carla Bell a half mile up the road, lying beneath the wheels of a real truck, looking exactly like the doll had on her dining room table. Comatose, Carla is taken to hospital.

Kite thinks it's more than a mere coincidence. Soon her theories are validated, launching her on an emotional rocketship ride as she fully realizes the implications of possessing so much power and the responsibility that goes along with it.

Kite finds out the hard way, though, responsibility isn't all it's cracked up to be.
