3 Word Wednesday CXLVII

Written for 3WW
The words this week are:
Cradle, Perfect, and Snare.

Here's mine:

VOODOO DOLL
"Oh, what a perfect day!" she exclaimed, opening the bedroom curtains. She rocked the cradle so violently that even the voodoo doll screamed. Picking it up, she stuffed its head between the springs under the snare drum.

    Oooh, while I've been loving all the poetry responses that I've been reading, it's nice to see some flash fiction. I love the image of the voodoo doll screaming. Well done. :)

    Love it. Nice little snippet of a strange reality. It reminds me of the movie "Coraline".
