Ready for another edition of Mondays Finish the Story? This flash fiction challenge asks that the writer complete a story of 100-150 words, using the opening line as provided (in bold and italicized letters), and that the story goes with the photo prompt. I hope that you enjoy my story entitled “Jessica’s Doll Regan.”
After losing her head, she realized that the rest of her body was falling apart! What better way to scare that nasty child Jessica!
You see, Jessica received the doll for her 6th birthday. She named it Regan. She never treated the doll well. She would slap it across the edge of the dresser, pinch it, bite it, and scream at it.
Weeks later, Regan knew she just had to do something to get back at Jessica! One dark night, she felt a surge of energy enter into her doll form. Damn, but that felt good! She raised her arms and looked at her small hands.
The following morning, Jessica awoke and found Regan in pieces. Jessica laughed. The arms were nearby, a leg was missing, as was the head, though not far away from the body. As Jessica looked at the doll’s head, it rolled over, and one of the eyes winked. It gave Jessica and evil smile and said, “Payback is a bitch!” Jessica screamed.

I hope that you enjoyed my bit of flash! Thanks for taking the time to drop by today. I hope that you have a marvelous Monday! Be well… ^..^
I bet that’s one doll Jessica will never forget. She may be afraid to sleep at night. Well done, Barbara. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thanks Suzanne! Regan was the name of the little girl in the exorcist, which works with the doll… 🙂
Hahaha – Regan’s Revenge! A beauty.
🙂 Thanks Joycelin!
Haha love this one Barbara- nothing beats a crazy possesses toy :p
🙂 I had some fun with this one!
The name “Regan” suits her well. I guess she’ll have her fun soon until then Jessica might start keeping dolls at a safe distance. 😉
Who knows what Regan will do next to Jessica!
An excellent shiver of tension slid through my mind before that wonderful wink that needed no further explanation ~ Well written Babs ~ 🙂
Ooohhh I made you shiver? Thanks John! This one was a fun one to write. The doll is named after the girl in The Exorcist.
A superb take on your excellent, unusual Picture and Sentence prompt.
Thank you John!
Yeah, stick it to her! Makes me think of a Toy Story/Stephen King mashup 🙂
Thanks Ali! I named the doll after the lead character in “The Exorcist.”
Hmmm, Regan. Wasn’t that the girl in the Excorist movie? I like it. Good read.
You got it! 🙂 I am glad you enjoyed the story!
Quite scary but nice that the doll was able to get back at the horrible child.
One never knows about those dolls…No one likes the clown dolls. Can you guess why? 🙂
Gee but the doll really showed her what mishandling is all about! I would be scared if my doll winked at me only through her head, Ha ha. I looked after my dolls! Interesting way of building up the tension in the story
Thanks Scrapydo! I am glad this entertained you!
It sure did
Scary but funny! Nice work 🙂
🙂 Why thank you Sonya!
This was great fun. I like the unique take coming from the doll’s perspective. Thanks for providing such a great prompt this week!
Thank you Lisa! I am happy that so many are enjoying the MFtS challenge! I appreciate your participation!
I always treated my toys well for just that fear…
🙂 Me too!
Whoa! Such language from a doll! Chilling.
What is up with that? 🙂 I am glad you found this story chilling!
Oh this was so creepy but well written..could be an ongoing story.
Hee hee! I am glad you enjoyed the story. Who knows? The doll might show up again later!
Revenge is sweet!!! Love this!!!!
Thanks Coastal!
Totally just had flashbacks to the first Toy Story when the toys scared the crap out of Sid! This was awesome!
Wow, I am glad you enjoyed it Nortina! That puts a smile on my face…not an evil one…
Nightmares coming up!
🙂 Boy did I have some last night! I think I scared myself!
I guess so!
Dang – not a doll I wanna play with! I have looked and looked but cannot find the childhood doll I once had called ‘Heada (or Heda?) Get Better. She was just about as tall as a two year old (somewhere I have a photo). In her plastic bonnet you could turn her head to show a happy face, a sad face and a face with the measles. At least that’s what I think I remember. 🙂
An unusual doll Jules! So is this one! 🙂
Just the perfect thing for a child that doesn’t respect her toys, nor plays well!
🙂 It is!
Haha! It was really creepy then it was really creepy hilarious! LOL!
I am glad you enjoyed my story! 🙂
It was pretty cool!
Thanks Joy!
