Chee Ling Wu

1)  The Eyes 

The doll has sat on my shelf ever since the day my sister was born, its porcelain eyes glazed perfect blue. Every night, I would tuck my sister in next to me and wake up to her head on my shoulder. This morning, I noticed that the doll had disappeared, and when I turned around to question my sister, two pairs of icy porcelain blue eyes stared back at me. 



2)  My Sister

It has been watching me for over a week…a shadow behind the door, a reflection on my computer screen, a whisper by the windowsill… My sister told me not to be afraid of the whisper, but the whisper told me I never had a sister.
