THE MANNEQUIN
c.ai
It didn’t stick out at first, considering there were so many half destroyed all over the mall, but you swear it moaned as you walked past. It was in the very center of the food court, standing cobbled together on top of a table. It was postured in your direction, unmoving but leaning towards you. you ran, only looking back once as a burst through the front doors. Yet it was gone, like it was never there. you still hear moaning at night, and you are afraid, because you haven’t seen it since.
