X-5, 4, 3, 2, X-1, fire. Tonight, George Leffert's original radio drama of the 21st century. Paris Geeze, wonderful dolls.
The doll shop, stored on a quiet Washington side street. Not too far from the sprawling Pentagon building. A woman and a child waited outside. A little girl, hearing eagerly through the window at the dolls inside.
And the woman glancing impatiently at her wristwatch as of expecting someone who is late for an appointment And there was nothing about the down shop to warn them that they were waiting to keep an appointment with Doom Yes, what is it dear?
In the window of the shop the tiny doll Hey mommy, do you think daddy will buy me one? Well we'll ask him when he comes to you He had three o'clock on this corner I see him mommy, there he is!
