Two boys and a girl were up, in the attic of a house over in Monaca, Pennsylvania, back in the Fall of 1969 one day. They were looking around and the girl noticed a puzzle up, on an attic-wall. The jigsaw puzzle was a huge one and was in forty pieces. The pieces of the jigsaw puzzle were mostly a vibrant red, while other puzzle pieces were yellow. "The Puzzle Game my Mom and Dad found when we moved into our house here guys" the girl said to the boys, and looked back at them. "Wow, we can put it together Molly" one of the boys replied to her. "Yeah, John, we can try too" Molly replied to him. "Looks far out" the other boy said to Molly and John. "Yeah, it sure does, Simon" John said to him, agreeing. Molly, John and Simon worked on putting The Puzzle Game together then, the huge jigsaw puzzle pieces slowly slid together on the wall. When it was almost together except for the last vibrant red piece, the children stood back and looked at it. The jigsaw puzzle was of a huge yellow key facing down, with a vibrant red background. John slid the last piece into the side of The Puzzle Game, completing it. The attic-wall opened, by sliding apart suddenly, thus, pulling the puzzle apart in the middle. Beyond the attic wall, there was a smokey-vibrant-red dimension. Both John and Simon poked their heads into the dimension and saw long ropes hanging down. Molly backed away, nervously and put her hand to her mouth. A shadowy-girl walked out of more of the smokey-vibrant-red dimension, walking slowly closer to the boys. They gasped and stared, wide-eyed at her.

"Hello there. I am known as Doll-Face. This is known as The Realm Of Ropes. When The Puzzle Game 'tis put together, thy key which it depicts, symbolizes that it 'tis thy key to unlock this dimension" the shadowy-girl explained to John and Simon. The many ropes within The Realm Of Ropes began to swing from side to side, as Doll-Face approached the boys, but Simon and John gasped in fear, yanking their heads out of The Realm Of Ropes. John, Simon and Molly all ran out of the attic. John and Simon ran downstairs, into the front room and sighed in relief. Molly ran downstairs to her living room too and also sighed in relief. "I locked the door of the attic guys!!" she told them. They ran outside, and onto the sidewalk, and a group of four teenage bullies walked towards them from one end of it. John, Molly and Simon saw them coming and all frowned. The four teens got to them and one pushed Molly down. She cried a little and the boys looked angrily at the bully. "Vince, why'd you do that for?" Simon asked him, angrily. "Because, she's a skirt and a sissy, Simon ya little wimp!" Vince replied. Simon and John helped Molly to her feet and Vince hit Simon straight in his stomach, causing him to cough in pain, bend over and clutch it. Another bully punched John in his nose, causing him to scream out in pain and grasp it with both hands. "Way to go Brian" Vince said to the other bully. "Thanks Vince" Brian replied. "Nice shot guys" a third bully said to Vince and Brian. "Thanks Eddie" they replied to him. As Eddie laughed, he pushed John down. "What a wimp" Eddie said to John and laughed more, along with Vince, Brian and the fourth bully. As Vince, Brian, and Eddie walked passed the kids, the fourth bully kicked Simon in his knee-cap, causing him to scream out more in pain. "Hey, nice going Jerry" Eddie said to him. "Thanks, man" Jerry replied to him, and they all walked off, laughing together.

Molly helped John up and then put her arm around Simon's shoulder, as he caught his breath and held his knee cap with his other hand. Later that night, Molly was looking out a window from her bed in an upstairs-bedroom. She got out of bed suddenly and walked out of her bedroom, going to a door. Molly unlocked and opened it. She walked up, into the attic and saw that the wall was still apart and that her attic-light was on. Standing within the attic by the left-side of the opened-wall, was the shadowy-girl known as Doll-Face, and she stepped into the light then. He flesh was pale-white, her eyes shined-white, and half-circles of black were halfway around them. Doll-Face also had: long, straight hair of black, and an open-mouth of black, with tears in it. Molly gasped in terror at Doll-Face, who stood in a yellow dress, with pale-white legs and pale white bare-feet. "My Friends John and Simon said your name is Doll-Face!!!" Molly told her. "Why, yes, it 'tis. I control The Realm Of Ropes through this passageway. The Puzzle Game opens thy passageway when put together. The winner of The Puzzle Game, receives assistance from I, Doll-Face with ones troubles" Doll-Face explained to Molly. "Well, Simon, John and I have trouble with these four teenage bullies, Doll-Face. They try to beat us up, sometimes do, and make fun of us" Molly told Doll-Face. "Ah, I am quite sorry. Bring them to me!" she told Molly.

In the morning, Molly, John and Simon walked down the street from her house together. They carried books and brown paper lunch bags. When they turned onto another street, Vince, Brian, Jerry and Eddie jumped out of the bushes and walked behind them. Simon rubbed the bandage across his nose and looked back. "Oh no. Run Molly and John!!" he said to them, and they both looked back, seeing the bullies and did along with him. The teenagers ran too then, chasing them on the sidewalk. The kids ran down the hilly-street on the sidewalk. They returned to Molly's house, running from the other direction. The bullies ran to her house from the same direction, as the kids ran into Molly's home. Vince knocked John away from the other side of the open-front door, and into a wall when he bumped into it, causing John to yell out in pain, and Vince, Jerry, Eddie and Brian ran into Molly's house then. Molly and Simon ran up, to her attic, and Simon gasped in surprised-fear at Doll-Face sitting in a chair. "Do not fear my dear boy. Fore I am here to assist you with your troubles" Doll-Face said to Simon. He sighed in relief and Vince, Jerry, Eddie and Brian ran up the attic-stairs then. Eddie grabbed Molly by her wrists, pulling her hands behind her, as she struggled to get free. Brian clutched Simon around his chest from behind, holding him tightly. Vince stepped in front of Molly and Jerry stepped in front of Simon, both pulling switchblade-knifes out of the pockets of their jeans. "You little freaks. You let your Folks know about us harassing you and beating some of you up yesterday. We all got grounded for a month by our Folks because of that" Jerry said to the kids. "Yeah, we dug holes in your backyard, Molly. All three of them last night" Eddie said to her. "Like Vince thought of doing we did you freaks!" Brian said to Molly and Simon. "Yeah, and we're gonna bury your little bodies in them before anyone catches us" Vince said to Molly and Simon. Vince and Jerry looked at each other and laughed. Doll-Face giggled then, making Jerry and Vince turn and see her. She revealed very long white fangs within her black mouth and got to her bare-feet. The humanoid-creature eerily hissed at the bullies, and cocked her head to the right-hand-side, magically-making Vince let go of his switch-blade knife. Then, she cocked her head to the left-hand-side, magically-causing Jerry to drop his knife too. Jerry and Vince looked at her confused, and then she put her hands out in front of her , which had very long claws of white on her fingertips, magically-making two ropes shoot out of The Realm Of Ropes, and wrap themselves around Jerry and Vince then.

The ropes wrapped themselves around Jerry and Vince's shoulders from their waists, and they screamed in confusion and terror. Doll-Face stretched her arms and clawed-hands out to the sides of her, magically-making the two ropes pull Jerry and Vince into the vibrant red smokey-dimension of The Realm Of Ropes, as they screamed. Eddie and Brian were trembling with fear at what was going on, Eddie let go of Molly, Brian let go of Simon, and the two remaining bullies ran down the stairs of the attic. They bumped into John as he was running up the attic-steps, and they all fell to the floor. Two more ropes shot out of The Realm Of Ropes and down the steps of the attic. Brian and Eddie got to their feet at the foot of the steps, and the ropes wrapped themselves around the bullies. As they screamed and writhed, John got to his knees and turned around. The ropes tied themselves around Brian and Eddie from their waists, to their shoulders. John watched them, as the ropes drug them up, into Molly's attic, as they screamed and kicked. Eddie and Brian were also pulled into The Realm Of Ropes, as they screamed and screamed. John ran up the attic steps and Doll-Face smiled at him, Simon and Molly, walking into The Realm Of Ropes with her very long white claws on her toes. As the kids watched, the humanoid-monster bit into Vince's shadowy-face, killing him instantly. Then, Doll-Face bit Eddie's shadowy-face, killing him instantly. Then Doll-Face also bit the shadowy-face of Brian, killing him instantly as well. Finally, the shadowy-form of Doll-Face bit Jerry's shadowy-face, killing him instantly too. The attic wall suddenly came together, closing the passageway to The Realm Of Ropes, and The Puzzle Game slowly slid all apart. Molly, Simon and John all shared a group hug.

Hee-Hee, well, that was FRIGHT a HORRIFYINGLY-HAPPY ENDING boys and girls! Poor Vince and Jerry looked quite PUZZLED at Doll-Face though eh? Ha-Ha! Well, they should have looked that way, being ROPED-INTO THE SITUATION heh-heh-heh-heh. I do hope you'll enjoy this other game of CROCO-BILE DENTIST kiddies hee-hee-hee!
