The letter is sent to Key West, Florida, to the mailbox of the Fort East Martello Museum. There, the envelope joins a thousand others on the wall of a glass cage in the heart of one of the main rooms. Inside is a doll, sitting on a small wooden chair: three apples high, a stuffed puppy on its lap, its head dressed in a white cap and its straw body in a rag.

It is important to know that this doll, named Robert, has a dark past: it's an old story, which inspired the Chucky doll from the movies, and has been making the United States tremble for decades, even in the Oval Office of the White House...
