Sally was a Sonic fan, pure and simple. At age twenty three, she was just a little too
obsessed with the speedy blue hedgehog. Her room was adorned with every piece of
Sonic merchandise she could find, be it the McDonalds's LCDs or those shoddily
constructed SatAM plushies. Her library contained the British
choose-your-own-adventure books, and her CD tower contained such rarities as
"Sonic Boom" and the Japanese Sonic X soundtrack. Yes, her collection was complete.
Or, so she thought.
One day, she and her boyfriend (the newest in a long line of tubby gents that
pleasantly reminded her of Big the Cat) were walking around "Little Tokyo", scouring
shops for Sonic X trading Cards. Along the way, they discovered a musty old curio
store. In the window, there was a particularly strange looking stuffed animal, with
especially vacant eyes, and a red jewel on it's head.
It was a Tails Doll.
Being a completest, she had to have it. She and her boyfriend ran inside and asked
the proprietor how much it cost.
He refused to sell it, saying that it was too valuable.
Sally offered him all she had, and he still wouldn't part with it. She look at the Doll, but
she knew she had to have it. Reaching out with a trembling hand, she out picked up a
bottle of Lychee Soda from a nearby case and smashed it on the register.
She stabbed the Shopkeeper in the throat.
Sally's beau was stunned. He told her she was mad! He told her she was demented!
He told her to stay away from him!
She told him to DIE.
Moments later, covered in blood, Sally came to her senses and realized what she had
done. She was a killer and had snuffed out two innocent people's lives.
But at least, she could now complete her collection. That Tails Doll was hers!
Only, when she looked back at the display, the doll was nowhere to be seen. The
window was utterly, totally and undeniably empty. As she looked down at her quivering
gore-coated hands, a song began to play on the late shopkeeper's radio.
"...Can you feel the Sunshine?..."
