CHAPTER 1: MR. REDFACE

Richard, a young boy, about 6 or 7, short black hair and a white shirt with red stripes was laying on his bed.

The square clock on his nightstand was indicating that the time was 10:30. He was patiently waiting for his mother to come back home, she's usually out working, and his dad, well, Richard doesn't know where his dad goes, but the house is better without his dad so it doesn't matter.

Richard's room had a yellow taint to it, like the entire house, it was also pretty rusty, unfortunately, that was all they could afford.

At this moment, the mom was out and the dad was in the house, drinking, in his own room.

Suddenly, Richard heard the house keys jingling from outside the home, he gets up from his bed and walks towards the front door.

The house was pretty small, the kitchen and living room on one side, and the dirty restroom on the other.

The mom opens the door, she had short black hair which arrived to her shoulders and freckles, she looked about 35, she had a pink sweater and blue jeans.

She looks down at Richard with a tired stare,

Richard says in a little, child voice,

Richard - "Mum, you're home late again…

She responds in an exhausted voice, tired from work,

Mom - " C'mon, i was busy with work. Can you have some sympathy for me?

She puts her hand on her hip and looks down at him, as he talks sadly,

Richard - "But today is my birthday.."

She responds in a more defensive manner,

Mom - "Oh… oh… o- of course, i know that.

Richard - "Then where is my gift?

Mom's eyes widen and slowly scratches her head, thinking of an idea.

She's got it, she tilts her body towards Richard and says,

Mom - "Have you ever heard of Mr. Redface? On the birthday of good children, Mr. Redface secretly leaves gifts while they're asleep.

Richard says, astounished,

Richard - "Really?"

Mom - "Of course! If you want to get your gift, you have to go to bed right away.

Richard - "I'm going to bed right now mom!!"

Suddenly, behind Richard, was his father, he had a bald head, big eyebrows, big nose and near shaved beard, he was clothed in a green shirt with no sleeves and a small black shirt. Father looks at mom with a big voice,

Father - "You're fooling the kid again. How many times have you come home this late?

Mom - "I was working, and my shift ended late."

Father - "Bullshit!"

He screams out,

Father - "You still think i'm an idiot, don't you?

Father looks down at Richard with big eyes and a sense of superiority,

Father - "Hey, little shit, get back to your room. Don't stand here eavesdropping on grown-up conversations.

Richard looks down and a tear starts to form, he takes a small step behind while still looking at his father,

Richard - "okay…"

And he trails to his room.

When Richard closes his door, he looks around his room and sighs, his room had a small stack of book, an old television and a big closed closet.

He slowly gets in his bed and starts closing his eyes before he falls asleep.

He sees pitch black.

Suddenly, he wakes up to the sound of thunder, he flinches as he hears it, jumpscared.

He checks his clock, it was 3:34 in the morning.

As his eyes adapt to the darkness, he can see a figure standing in front of his door, waving at him… slowly.

As the light flickered once, Richard flinched and as he did, the figure gor closer and Richard was able to tell what the it looked like.

It had a big red face with white eyes but no pupils and a full black body, as it was still waving, Richard could see he was holding an object, it was a small doll.

Then, the figure started nodding, and starts walking across his room and as the lights flicker from time to time.

Richard follows the figure with eyesight and it was moving to the closet, it puts it's hands on the closet knob but before it opens it.

Richard really wakes up from his sleep, he checks the clock and it was 9:28 in the morning.

He slowly gets up from his bed, rubbing his eyes and yawning, and discovers an opened package on the floor in front of his bed.

Richard's eyes widen,

Richard - "Is that the gift from Mr. Redface??

In the box, was a small doll, that looked identically like himself, but with buttons for eyes.

The doll's neck was sideways, and looked broken.

Richard smiles and chuckles,

Richard - "No Way!!"

Suddenly, the doll's mouth starts slowly moving, but his body isn't, it says in a unnatural voice,

Doll - "Hi! I'm Rich.

Richard looks at the doll, flabbergasted,

Richard - "What!? You can talk?

Doll - "Of course, because i was created by magic."

Richard - "You even have the same appearance and name as me."

Doll - "That's right! My master made me just for you."

Richard - "But your neck seems a bit loose.."

he says, in a curious tone,

Doll - "It's okay, sometimes my Master makes mistakes. This is just a small flaw conpared to the other dolls.

What's important is that from now on, I'll be your best friend!"

Richard - "That sounds wonderful! Do you wanna play something with me?"
