and appear to glimmer with a strange prompts

7 months ago

A hyper-realistic, lifelike ventriloquist puppet sits on a dusty, abandoned chair in a forgotten corner of a derelict theater. The puppet's face is unnervingly detailed, with flawless porcelain skin that shows faint cracks and signs of age. Its eyes are large, glassy, and appear to glimmer with a strange, unnatural light, while the deep wrinkles around its mouth reveal that it’s seen far too many performances. The mouth is slightly ajar, as if frozen mid-sentence, with sharp, yellowing teeth that look like they could belong to a real human. Its hair, once a soft blonde, is now matted and dirty, tangled in a way that seems almost too lifelike. The room around the puppet is suffocatingly still, the only movement coming from the faint creaking of the wooden floorboards and the occasional gust of wind from a broken window. The lighting casts stark shadows, exaggerating the imperfections in the puppet’s face, creating an ominous sense that it might suddenly speak or move.
