Character: Dalton

He’d started biting his nails again - not a good sign! And the stammer was back. Admittedly life had been unfair - let’s face it, when you’re a small, ugly research assistant in a rundown museum, you don’t have a life. But death was worse.
If only they would give him time to think, he knew he could be a useful member of the team. He had qualifications! But, as always, dead or alive, he ws the one who got laughed at and bullied.
Dalton sighed heavily and went back to washing the dolls’ clothes as ordered.
Some people you annoyed at your peril!

It shows you that not being alive doesn't change your life at all

That’s a really sad thought!

I love the line, "He had qualifications!" Lol. Nice character piece.

He was obviously a very clever bloke. I loved Dalton

Too funny. Great job with Dalton's inner thoughts and the buildup to the end - washing dolls' clothes! LOL, this is just great.

I could so see Dru giving him little domestic jobs to do!

Great character piece here. Good insight into Dalton. The washing the doll's clothes and his thoughts were great.
