When I was younger, I used to have this friend named York. I would talk to him for hours, until the man took him to his performance every weekend... York was the best ventriloquist act I'd ever known. You seem confused... Oh! I get it, you thought this was a child right? Hah, I thought so! No, this friend was in fact a ventriloquist dummy. Hmm? How did we first meet? Oh, that's quite a long story, but if you insist. I was barely seventeen at the time, we met during one of his performances, the best one I'd seen... This is a story about a 17 year old girl named Burlem (she prefers Kathy though) and York, a ventriloquist dummy who is more than he seems. Hiya! I didn't really know what tags I should use for this story- I tried to find some though! I don't really know where this story's going to go but I hope you enjoy! This is kind of rough and I would love some criticism, I already know I need to add more details- I tend to skip out on them 😅. I will try to update whenever I have a finished chapter.
