Not praise worthy? I believe not.
Not only was my attention captured with your descriptive words, but my ever-growing curiosity drove me forward. Lack of dialogue didn't really bother me; in fact, it took this oneshot to a whole new level. Everything was described with such a haunted feeling, as if the girl was living in a nightmare.
I'm still wondering why she was unable to listen to the music box, or why she cherished it so much. But that's alright, the just leaves me right enough space to imagine as many possibilities as I wish.
Was she actually a doll, a ghost, someone's figment of imagination? I'll never know, but I'm not bothered by this. Everything was so beautifully described, I'm sure that I'm close to knowing the answer.
I liked this so much.
Your descriptions and writing style had me completely focused on the story you were telling. It was really well written. It would be interesting to know more about the girl in the story, not necessary though.
The ending was sad, but I'm glad that she was finally able to sing.
The whole thing was just absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed reading it.
