Marionette (Felix Lee)
Uno


Mr. Chris.He is very famous in all areas of the city where he lives.No one does not know him.Even he has become a special entertainer for the kingdom.Despite that.He still holds shows for ordinary people in the city the place where he was born.


People ask, why the doll looks so alive.The doll that one does not even need to spend with difficulty.Thin threads that he uses as if sweetener when the doll movement looks alive.


Some people believe that he used forbidden magic to have the doll possessed by a spirit.


But some of his loyal audience did not believe.Mr Chris is one who obeys his religion.He even to the place of worship every day to pray.


They only believe that he only uses ordinary magic tricks or cheap magic rather than using forbidden spells that no one knows other than witches from the black forest that is located very far from the city come there by foot or bicycle.


Thanks to the doll, his name began to be known.Thanks to the object he earned a lot of money.

It is still dark.Not because of the night, only cloudy that adorns the sky.Making it look gray must have no rain or wind though.And the farmers are in need of rain for their crops.


The only market there is still open until the afternoon arrived.Many people crowded there.


The only building with a wall clock is at the end.When time does not feel quickly passing by.Everything goes from there.They take care of the merchandise and close the shop to immediately rush away.Some of them do not go straight home to the house.The empty hall not far from the market became their target place.If in the morning the building was quiet and empty.It is not used at all that was once a hall that was not used what.Only the parents there who know but they kept it a secret.


The only person who dared with the building was Mr. Chris.He turned the slum as a special show building for him especially at night as entertainment for the residents.They donated their fair share of funds to the old man.


Night came, the hall was already pretty much visited by people.They occupy all the seats that have been prepared.The room there is not too bright.Even when the show began, the,it was deliberately made a little dark so that they only focused on the light that illuminated the stage of the show.


All circles are there, sitting on the same chair without regard to any caste just to see the puppet show that everyone is talking about.


After waiting a long time, the curtain was finally opened.Displayed Mr. Chris and some of his dolls.Because he wore a wooden doll that was moved by a rope,he prepared a large box behind him in which he would control the puppet.


As if bewitched in one night, they fell in love and were obsessed with wanting to have such a man.When they knew, a fairy tale would never become reality.


Mr. Chris, who is hiding behind the box, tries to control the dolls, which are thin strings that may not be visible from a distance,he wears it for his three dolls.Except for the handsome human doll.Nobody knows if there is a strange one.Even the music of his accompanist feels bewitching them.Although no one believes that it is all magic.Music and performances he indeed one of his nephews was behind being a pianist in every show.


Everyone seemed to be bewitched in one night.They were all amazed, astonished and felt different things while watching his puppet show.It was what made him famous.People in the city who complained came there, too,makes them feel a lot better than coming to a doctor.


The old man has succeeded.He makes the unknown city is now crowded with many outsiders because of his performances.He has attracted a lot of attention that turns the deserted city into a warm place for anyone who come by.


"Come on Helena, there's an empty place there" exclaimed her friend, Gracia, who pulled the girl into the hall.


Helena can only resign to follow the wishes of her friend and neighbor to accompany her to watch the puppet show of Mr. Chris is very famous.


They also ended up sitting next to each other in the back row.Because they were late, the front seat will definitely fill up first.Helena who is not interested in such things just react normally.After work from the bakery, the,all he thought about was going home and sleeping.Unlike Gracia who was very excited watching when the doll they called Felix appeared.


At a glance, Helena felt her hair stand for a few seconds.As she lowered her head, she felt that the human doll was staring at her with its cold eyes.Of course, the doll had empty eyes.


But when he saw the stage again, nothing happened.Felix still played as usual.Everyone just focus on the human doll.


Time passed quickly like Helena's wish.End it with a boisterous applause from the people who came.Fun time, they said.


"The girl who was cursed"
