I am @EmeraldAshesAudio on YouTube, if you would like to credit me.

[Anxious, scared] Okay, it’s fine. It’s fine. You are so fine. It’s just a creepy, empty mansion that is possibly haunted and definitely full of dolls. Nothing to panic about because those things can’t hurt you.

[Calming self slightly] Just think about when you get back to the group. And you show off your stupid selfie. And MacKenzie has to eat her words. And, next thing you know, you have a date to homecoming. And all your classmates think you’re awesome. And everybody stops calling you “new kid” all the time.

Ugh. I hate dolls.

Screw it. [FX: Phone Rings] Yo, MacKenzie, I’ve been wandering around here for 15 minutes. Where the hell is the ballroom supposed to be?

[Pause]

[Annoyed] I’m not chickening out. Here, let me put on video. See? Just me, the haunted mansion, and 10,000 fucking dolls. There’s your proof. Can I go now?

[Pause]

Yeah, right off Johnson Street.

[Pause]

What do you mean, this is the wrong mansion? How many abandoned mansions does this town have?

[Pause]

[Flat] This one isn’t abandoned. You’re joking.

[Pause]

[Panicked] Oh my God. I’m gonna go to prison. This is breaking and entering.

[Pause]

There is a difference between breaking into a place that’s been left to rot for fifty years and breaking into somebody’s home. Okay, I’m getting out of here. I’m pretty close to the backdoor. At least, I think I am. I’m gonna call you back when I’m safe, and if I get caught and go to jail, you are 100% obligated to bail me out.

[Pause]

Yeah, whatever. Bye.

[Pause]

[Softly] You’re fine. You’re fine. You’re fine. You’re… [Shrieks]

[Panicking, tripping over words] Oh my God, you must be the person who lives here. I am so sorry, I didn’t realize and my friends sent me in as a prank. I’m not taking anything. I’m just leaving. I’m leaving right now. Please, don’t call the cops!

[Pause]

[Slightly Deflated] And you’re just another doll. [Uncomfortable] A really weird doll. You’re a lot bigger than the others, huh?

[Gasp] Did you just turn your head? [Short Pause] Holy…you nodded. You just…You’re not a doll. No, right, of course you aren’t. Oh my God. Are you the person who lives here? No? Are you hurt? You look hurt. The person who lives here…Did they hurt you? Are they coming back soon? Yes? Wait, yes and no? [Horrified Realization] You don’t know when they’re coming back.

[Anxious] Okay. Okay, I’m sorry. I have to go. I’m gonna come back for you, okay? But if the person who did this finds me here with you…I need to go get help. I…[Realization, hopeful] I still have cell reception. I’m getting help, okay? [FX: Dials 911] I’m getting help right now, and I’m not leaving without you.

617 Johnson Street, the mansion with the red door. We need police and an ambulance. Someone’s been kept here and tortured.

[Pause]

[Stressed, Upset] I’m, um, I’m not sure what their condition is? They can’t move much. Their mouth is sewn shut. Their eyes are missing. I…I don’t know what else. It’s really bad. [Soft, Desperate] Please send help.
