the nightmare of the marionette

There was street named Banther street in the suburbs of the big town named Ronserim, and there was the the antique shop named Hodgins’s antique shop which old man ran on the street.
The marionette with the sickle was displayed in the shopwindow of the antique shop.
If person who matched eyes with a marionette displayed in the antique shop, the rumor cursed to death by a marionette was whispered as if it were true on around Banther street after death of the master of the antique shop.
One day the girl named Sarah who did not know such a rumor at all came over for shopping to Banther street.
When she finished shopping, and she was going to come home, she caught sight of a marionette displayed in the shopwindow of the antique shop stayed then her body was drawn toward the marionette.
And she matched eyes with a marionette.
After having looked at a marionette for several minutes, she came home.
When she fell asleep at the night of the day, the marionette with the sickle appeared in her dream.
When the marionette brought a sickle down at her, she tripped and fell down and the sickle pierced the ground of the place 30 centimeters away from her.
And she ran away from the attack of the marionette.
However, the marionette caught up with her.
When the marionette brought a sickle down at her again and she suffered a deep wound in her back and screamed, her mother shook her body to hear her scream and woke her up.
She woke up before the sickle of the marionette hit her body.
Her mother asked “I heard your screamed. what happened?”
Sarah said “I seemed to have a bad dream”
She did not remember that she was attacked by a marionette.
Her mother said “So” and left her room while doing a worried face.
When she felt a pain to her back, and she confirmed her back in front of a mirror, there was a deep wound touched with the knife which was sharp to her back.
And she sewed up the wound that was due to her back at a hospital.
She was told to rest quietly in bed by a doctor.
It was night, and when she fell asleep, the marionette with the sickle appeared to her in her dream again.
When the marionette brought a sickle down at her, her mother who worried about her hung the dream catcher at her room.
Then the marionette disappeared from her dream.
