A doll.
Its witch has been missing for years.
But everyday, it finds a little origami star with a message contained inside.
Sometimes the messages are short. Sometimes they're written in text small enough to fit the entire message. Sometimes the message is on both sides of the strip of paper.
All are addressed to the doll - ink laced with its witch's magicks.
Every time it receives a star, it always makes sure to fold it back up again.
It's already long passed a thousand.
But it can keep waiting.
No matter how many stars it takes, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred, a million -
It will wait forever if it has to.
She's worth it.
