Poor Billy. Reminds me somehow of Dr Noonien Soong trying to perfect Lore, so that we could have Data. (Star Trek ref, for those that don't know what I'm talking about, lol)
Excellent story. I thought I knew where it was going, but I was wrong in the best possible way. I particularly liked the line “Curiosity overcame obedience,” like going into the secret room when his father forbade it was a rite of passage.
Poor Billy! I really liked this story
Thank you
That could have gone many ways - I liked the choice!
Cheers
Smashed it, John! As ever, an excellent story!
Thank you
Carpet on the basement stairs? Fancy! 🙃

LOL. I’m glad you explained that one.
Exceptional writing. Reminded me of my childhood.
Thank you
This is great! Puppets and automatons are something I love in horror. This particular relationship is very twisted Pinocchio!
I love a good, creepy puppet story. The whole uncanny valley thing weirds me out.
