Love of Seven Dolls

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh dear...

Warning: rape, abuse, mental and physical, “Beauty and Beast” “love” story (Her “love” changes a monster of a man into a loving, good prince. Sure... Hate that trope!)

But it is still a lovely story. Because of the dolls. The monster cannot tell the girl all the things he wants to tell her as himself, unmasked, so he tells her all the things as the dolls. There is an innocence in this story, purity, even though he is an a-hole, unadulterated, nasty, disgusting POS behind his own face. Because of the dolls... his small red-haired alter ego, his small furry alter ego, and the other five, with them he can be just as sincere, open, childishly himself as he wants to be. And children can be a-holes as well. We just forgive because they are children.

And then we have Mouche (the fly). The ingenue, who is more pitiful than attractive. She isn't very smart, sexy, seductive, she is bony, tiny, flat, she isn't pretty, but she is an ingenue. So innocent even the monster's effort to destroy her innocence doesn't work. Makes me wonder if many child molesters and beaters are trying to destroy the innocence and purity that makes them themselves look more ugly in comparison.

It is a short story, but it's rather powerful. Read it if you can find it. It's very short.
