Allie X Collxtion Ii -

Allie X — born Alexandra Hughes, though the “X” has long since replaced any memory of a fixed name — wakes in a white room. Not a hospital. Not a studio. A gallery. She’s the sole exhibit: a life-sized porcelain doll with wires for hair and a clockwork heart that ticks in 4/4 time.
