Dear Aletheia! Happy birthday! This one hopes that Aletheia has been well! Though this one also understands that Aletheia has been under a lot of pressure. Food stamps being cut out, losing health insurance, hopefully returning to school but starting again from scratch...

A doll and a witch having written 1094 stories. Today makes 1095. ... A year off, the witch muses to her doll. ... A year is a long time. For three years asofar, they've been writing stories everyday.

The witch purses her lips. And raises her head. "Fine then." "As it used to be." "Me and my doll." "Alone." The doll squeezes its witch's hand. She squeezes back.

"You're allowed to make mistakes, my doll." The witch ruffles her doll's hair. "I am too!" "But you never make mistakes." "Truth be told, I often wondered whether making you was a mistake." The doll tenses up. Then looks down.

"Pick up the knife." The doll bends over. And, with trembling hands, grasps the knife. "Our work isn't done." The witch points her blade at a hunter on the ground. Bleeding. Unable to stand. Helpless. "They came for us." The witch drives her blade into their heart.

Dear Absent Writer Doll, Happy birthday. Thank you for putting up with me for so long. ... I... Admittedly feel that I have failed you. In a few days, we'll be going on a year long break. I can't help but feel at fault for our dearth in writing. But...

The spaceport bar was much like any, and the girl next to me could've been anyone. Literally; she was using a remote body. She said something strange: "Why do you think they call them 'ghost ships'? We're definitely alive." I looked over, and the body was idle. The logs said it had been for 6 hours.

"You're either capable of the task or you're not." The doll bunches its dress in its hands. It can't look at the headmaster. It just... Stares at the ground. Ashamed. It feels a hand on its shoulder. It tears up. "May I take it instead of having it destroyed?"

"Target in sight. Permission to engage?" The witch keys in her microphone. "Hit em hard, dolly." "Copy." A rumble throughout the building. The rest of the staff look around worriedly.

A witch lying on the ground. Bleeding from wounds that just won't heal. The doll tries its best to put pressure on her wounds but... But... "It just... I can't... I can't stop the bleeding." The witch laughs. Pulls the doll close. Its clothes stain red. Spread red.

A doll. It thinks about a witch. It used to be hers. But then... Then they separated. The doll's request. And the witch... She hesitated. But she accepted. It... It regrets it. The breakup was its fault.

A witch taking tea. In a time past, she would have had her doll make tea for her. These days, she does it herself. She doesn't have a doll anymore, after all. Where did it go? Away. But that's okay. She wanted its happiness most of all.

1203

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

A witch. If she contradicts itself, then it contradicts herself. She is large, it contains multitudes. She dances between sense of self as easily as it breathes. She is exactly what it wants to be. Beholden to nobody.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

A doll meeting with its parents. It doesn't want to be there. But it would be rude to refuse. After all, its sibling wanted to meet with them. How they can manage to stomach them, it will never know. ...

A witch reading through one of her most beloved works. 450 pages. A 9.5 hour read. 60000 words. 160 concepts. Her masterpiece. For all that she has written, nothing has come close to that story that she had wrought.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

A witch and a doll. They stand outside the ruins of their home. A fire. Everything that they owned... Burned to ashes. They shed no tears. But they can't tear their eyes away from the blackened remains. ... Perhaps they are dissociating. ...

1295

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

The hunter stands over the witch. "You will die for me now." They raise their blade - The doll grabs them from behind. Wrestles them away from the witch. But... "You... Should've... Stayed down!" The doll is impaled.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

A person and a doll. Or, perhaps, he should be called a witch. They said that he would make a good witch, after all. But then again, they taught him nothing. Just... A word of confidence. And then they were gone. Like it was nothing but a dream. ...

1277

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Awake. He's awake in bed. ... Was it a dream? He remembers it clearly, though. Every moment is as clear as crystal. Sharp as a knife. But... So much of it didn't make sense.

1246

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

The person blinks. In front of him is a witch. But... How did he get here? All he remembers is... Going to the meeting spot. Waiting. And then... All at once... Here he was. He swallows. "So. What did you want to ask?"" He blinks. Opens his mouth. Closes his mouth.

'Witches near me.' 'Where to find a witch?' 'How to use magic?' 'How to find someone that can use magic?' 'Magic users where?' 'How to fix magical runes?' 'How to determine what writing material was used in a magical rune?' 'Will non magic ink work on a magical rune?' ...

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

A broken doll. A person does his best to try and fix it. He isn't a witch. And he's never fixed a doll before. He knows that they're magical entities. Maybe he has no hope of actually fixing it.

A witch. She accidentally looked in the mirror. Her eyes... They seem so tired. Dark circles under her eyes... Wrinkles... Like she hasn't slept. Maybe even for days. She takes a deep breath and sighs. Nothing new.

0275

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

A tired doll. It did a lot today. Its feet hurt. It wants to lay down. With its witch. Cuddle closely. Warmly. Kiss her hand. Kiss her forehead. Run its fingers through her hair. Hold her close. Tell her it loves her. ... It's tired. And dreamy.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

A witch. She posted a painful story some time ago. Speaking the painful truths about her upbringing How she turned out to be a relatively good entity, despite all the abuse that she suffered. That, despite everything, she still wishes to be a glimpse of paradise.

1234

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

A witch that takes off her headphones. She reclines in the silence. From constant noise to... Nothing. ... It's... Loud, isn't it? The way that silence can seem so oppressive when, all at once, it bears down upon you.

1284

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

A witch in the shower. She turns up the heat. She buries her face in her arms and knees. This isn't the first time that she's done this. In fact, she does this almost every shower, if not every entirely. She listens to her thoughts.

1329

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

A witch staring at a blank page. She's been doing this for an hour so far. No writing, occasional distractions, but she always come back to the page. Her doll brings her a cup of hot chocolate! Somewhat distractedly, she thanks the doll. Holds the cup with both her hands...

1216

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

A doll in the mines... Its witch is there too! ... Why??????? Because, clearly, if it's good enough for her doll to do, then she can do it too! The doll shakes its head, bewildered, saying that it was built for these kinds of tasks.

A witch reading through her old works. This one was called "Time Capsule". Featuring a doll with external memory drives, looking through the data contained within those old drives and combing through those precious memories. She was proud of this work.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

A witch. She sits in the shower, listening to her mind's voice ask herself over and over again, "Are you okay?" And then... It suddenly sounds different.

1213

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

"I saw you talking with that adventurer earlier. What was the conversation about?" "Oh, um... He told me that I shouldn't tell you or else you'd be mad at him." "Oh? Did he insult my cooking?" "No! He just... Told me a bad word." "I see."

"I am the poet they sent, when they suggested that they "should have sent a poet..." And, yet, the only words I can muster are..." "I love you." 'And... I can only ask... Is that enough?" ...

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Yearning. She's beautiful. Radiant. Breathtaking. She's so much that it isn't. And yet she treats it as an equal. It couldn't have possibly deserved her love. Not with all the baggage that it carried. And yet she loves it anyway.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

A doll. It waits patiently in the darkness. It knows its witch is coming. She wouldn't abandon it. No matter how shattered it may be. And so it waits. Fearless. Until All at once. It feels light shine on it again.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

A witch searching for her doll. It was still in the arcology when it collapsed. She, at the very least, needs to find its core, but... Its readings are all over the place. ... That... won't deter the witch, however. She will find what she's looking for. She must.

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

A cat! She lies across the witch and doll! Both of them are petting her! She's purring! One of them stops for now. The cat meows! "Okay, okay, I'll keep petting you." A happy cat. A very happy cat. ...

1305

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

"I'm cold. Are you?" "I don't feel cold." "So you must be warm!" "I don't feel warm or cold, you never built that function into me." "Oh... I was going to ask if I could hug you and share our body heat." ... "I would still like that." ''Yay!"

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

"This world is going to eat you up and spit you out." "You're... Probably not wrong. All things considered, I'll probably die an early death, some way, somehow. "Aren't you afraid of that?"

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

A witch crying into her doll's shoulder. She keeps on apologizing. That she should be stronger. That she shouldn't be putting so much pressure on the doll. That it deserves more than to be just a shoulder to cry on.

1245

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

A witch and a doll invited to a naming day party! ... No one seems glad to see them present. They draw stares and side-eyes. No one talks to them, all actively avoiding them. The parents... Are, admittedly, also the same.

1184

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

A witch with a heated blanky! It was a gift from her doll! Who she... doesn't see as often as she used to. ... Through this heated blanket, it keeps her warm in her coldest moments. And, quietly, she whispers it a word of gratitude. Even if it isn't around to hear it.

1232

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

A doll in bed. It's been feeling out of it the entire day. Its witch takes care of it. Makes sure that it's fed, watered, warm and cosy... The doll feels kinda bad putting all this on her.

1276

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

A witch reading her diary. Something that she kept for a short while about a game she played. Strategies, stories about her experiences, what her character was thinking when things happened...

They say that writing is a skill, not unlike a muscle that you develop, that, as you go further, you begin to find writing easier. But why is it, for me, that the more that I write, the harder it seems to get?

1122

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

A witch. What does it mean to be a witch, anyway? To take the world as you see it, and mold it to your will. Or something along those lines. Right? Right...? ... A witch. She has no dolls. She has no magic. And yet she is a witch all the same. How?

1245

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

A doll. It stands in front of the door to its witch's apartment. It knocks on the door. And waits. As it waits, its attention drifts. To the hallway. To its belongings. To the time that has separated them. All by its own doing. ...

1234

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

The phone rings. The witch recognizes the number. He steadies himself. Steels himself for what the conversation could bring. And... He answers the phone. "Sir?" "Yes, my doll?" A moment passes. And then an audible sigh from across the line. "I missed you."

1202

Absent Writer Doll @absencedoll.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

A witch. His doll has moved out. ... It's been... A long time since they had started living together. And now his home feels... Empty. ...
