The Ventriloquist Final Act
Fredrick Willis

Fredrick Willis owned the whump Mucket Puppet Shop after his father died in 1972. He was just a boy of age 17. Fredrick father was mysteriously obsessive with ventriloquist dummies. His father used to go to ventriloquist night clubs to watch venters perform on stage. When his father had an heart attack in 1972, he gave the shop up to Fredrick, and Fredrick did not want to betray his father in selling the shop. That was when he decided to own the shop respecting his father's wishes. When he did, he himself became fascinated and obsessed with ventriloquism like his father did.
After Mr. Hanks had left the shop, he took all of the broken parts of the dummy out of the fire storage. Fredrick was not fond of the whole idea of burning dolls. It made him sick to his stomach bad enough to see the cut up parts of the dummy's body in the bag. He began spraying the burnt parts of the doll with a doll's dirt remover. After that, with his expertise and techniques, he put all the parts back together. He placed the eye's back into the sockets. He brushed the black doll's hair. He made so much of an effort to repair the African ventriloquist dummy, and he succeeded. He put a new suit and black bow tie on the dummy.
"Don't worry pal, you will get back in action in no time," Frederick said, showing an evil smile on his face.
