    Scene Setting 1

    Thousands of snowflakes were fluttering to the ground all around her. The little girl, who was wearing a
    blue woolly hat, skipped happily through the snow-dusted street. Pulling her warm, pink jacket tighter
    around her, she shivered in the cold air. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed an unusual window: a shop
    she had never noticed before. The window seemed to gape open like a mouth, ready to devour. Still,
    something drew her towards it. The strange window was misted with snow so she stepped closer to see what
    was inside.

    Even stranger, inside the window was a small doll, dressed in a blue woolly hat, a padded pink coat and
    thick brown mittens, just like hers. She could just see tendrils of blonde hair peeking out from beneath the
    doll’s miniature blue hat. Just like hers. Alma’s eyes widened in amazement as she stared, transfixed by the
    doll’s clear, blue eyes which were just like her own.

    Something was drawing her closer; she felt compelled to get a closer look. When she looked up, the doll
    had vanished. She was sure it had been right in front of her, standing on a table inside the window. It was
    gone.

    Pressing her brown mittens to the glass, she gazed through.


    Intrigued, she picked up the little doll on the bicycle. When she did, the bicycle wheels immediately started
    to turn. It started cycling towards the closing door, desperate for freedom. Just before it escaped, the door
    closed. The strange little doll continued its urgent cycling, banging against the door repeatedly.

    Without recognising the doll’s warning, Alma looked up for the doll which resembled her. On the top shelf,
    she spotted it – staring down at her. Again she felt that desperate urge to touch the doll. Climbing on the
    sofa, she struggled to reach the doll. Fingertips outstretched, it was too far. Meanwhile, on the floor, the little
    black and white doll continued its bid for freedom; it crashed against the closed door over and over again.

    Above Alma, the doll – which seemed to appear smug - beckoned her. Once more she reached upwards with
    every effort she could muster. Her out-stretched fingertips crept closer to the doll – finally! She touched the
    face. Without warning, a blur of visions whizzed through her mind. Something had changed.

    Looking around the still-empty shop, something was different. Her vision seemed different. Everything had
    changed. No! With a sinking feel in her stomach, she realised she was now seeing through the round, glass
    eyes of the doll. She felt sick. She could barely comprehend what had just happened. Gobsmacked, she
    wondered how this could’ve happened.

    In front of the window, another doll appeared. This doll – which was wearing a beautiful red coat – gazed
    out towards the blackboard marked with Alma’s name. Waiting.
