🎭 La Muñeca de Sofía 🎭

Sofía encontró una muñeca antigua en un mercado de antigüedades. Sus ojos de vidrio parecían seguirla a donde fuera, pero a pesar de lo inquietante que era, decidió comprarla. Al llegar a casa, la colocó en su habitación, sin notar que, desde ese momento, pequeños sucesos extraños comenzaron a ocurrir: las luces parpadeaban, los objetos cambiaban de lugar y, por las noches, juraba escuchar susurros.

Una noche, Sofía despertó con una sensación extraña. Miró hacia su escritorio y vio la muñeca… pero esta ya no estaba sentada donde la había dejado. Ahora estaba en la silla, frente a su cama, con su cabeza inclinada como si la estuviera observando. Atemorizada, la tomó y la guardó en un armario, pero al día siguiente, la muñeca apareció nuevamente sobre su cama, con una siniestra sonrisa en su rostro.

Desesperada, Sofía llevó la muñeca de vuelta al mercado, pero el vendedor la miró con sorpresa. “Esa muñeca… yo nunca te la vendí”, dijo con un escalofrío en la voz. En ese instante, la muñeca cayó al suelo y se escuchó una risa tenue en el aire. Sofía salió corriendo sin mirar atrás, jurando no volver a comprar nada en ese lugar. Pero cuando llegó a casa, su corazón se detuvo: la muñeca la estaba esperando en su habitación.
