You felt frightened and betrayed as the box you were helplessly trapped in was placed onto a rotating display in the middle of the store, giving you a full view of everyone around, staring at you. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention." smiling, mom called to the customers. "The Dolly Wolly company is now selling 'Baby Sibling' dolls with 365 different outfits and accessories, including a nursery play set!"
Cheers came from the girls in the crowd and, very soon, 'Baby Dolly Wollys' were being pulled from the selves as girls literally begged their parents to buy one for them. This made you nervous as you saw mom and Anna walking out of the store with her friends following, giggling. "Bye bye, baby Dolly!" giggled Anna. "We'll come back for you before closing, if you're not sold!"
The other girls began to laugh as they left and you fell into unseen tears, not seeing mom slap Anna on the back of the head for her cruel comment. "Mom, how could you!?" crying, you thought. "Please don't leave me here!"
You cried for hours before finally falling asleep, unaware that several customers had tried to purchase you, being the only Baby Dolly Wolly left in the store. Fortunately, mom had already told everyone that she would forever ruin the career of anyone who sold you to anyone, not that you knew this. You woke up to a disturbing silence and found that you were no longer on the spinning display but in the front window, facing out. Worse, the store was dark and the crowd of people passing out in the mall had dwindled down considerably. "Oh no!" desperate, you thought. "The store is closed and I'm still in here!"
Just then, mom and Anna came running into view, looking out of breath. They both had a look of worry on their face as they spotted you right away, still trapped in the box and on display. Mom winced then pointed to a sign on the front window, just inside your field of vision. It read, 'Closed early, sorry for the inconvenience'. Your eyes went wide, reading it then turned your eyes back onto mom and Anna who both blew you a kiss then walked out of view. You were trapped in the box, on display until mom and Anna could come back for you the next day. What made maters worse was that you had not eaten or had anything to drink since lunch that day, it was going to be a very long night.
