Sad, satin doll.

Tick, tock-tick, tock--make it stop! Stop the noise, she screams as her agitation vibrates through her chest, sending a rumble throughout the room. Jelly man saunters over to her, coming up from behind. His jelly hands slide down her sides, silencing her anger while turning her cheeks a bright shade of pink. The noise is too much, she whines as she twists her feet together--his jelly hands crawl into her young lap--open palms against taut skin. Sing a song for me, the Jelly man says to her, crooning softly into her ear. Her eyelids grow heavy and are pulled together into a close, to ward off the world before her; her legs relax as they are pulled apart.. She begins to hum a verse from her favorite song.
