Lost in Time

Write about a young child who finds an antique doll in the attic, which is possessed by the spirit of its former owner, a child ghost from a bygone era.

The antiquated doll is a potent symbol for linking the present with the past, contemporary life with history. The story could explore the eerie affect the doll’s ghostly owner has on the present-day child, as well as revealing snippets from the past. It might lead to questions such as, what does the ghost child want? What was their life and death like?
