Over 300 crude,
handmade dolls
spread all over
a village in Japan
called Ichinomo
less than 60
residents living in it
the purpose of
the dolls is
to make the
small village
of mostly old people
and no children
more livable
less lonely
more like
a bigger village
filled with
more people
but to me
it would be like
living with
scarecrows everywhere
and maybe a few
evil-looking dolls
not at all appealing
in fact, a bit creepy
especially if any
of those dolls
starting moving
like a village of
the damned dolls
horror movie.
