Desperately don’t want to go there. Horrid, really horrid. Actually, pure hell. No really. These things are more than scary. Nope. Not going there.
Once was enough. So… So…
I’ll say nothing.
Definitely not.
My mind is made up. And why not? It’s my choice. Just my decision. No-one else.
Got that?
I’m looking at you… and you… and anyone around here.
It’s not going to happen.
There’s no mystery. It’s not that. Sleight of hand?
It sounds like a magician, perhaps? But no. Not that. That would be daft.

No. It’s those mannequins. I’d run a mile from them!

I don’t know where, I don’t know when, but humans are always curious and thirsty for the enigmatic. No chance of running away! 😉😶🌫️🫠😂

No running away? That’s a bit frightening… curious? Maybe… 🤔💛😍

Mannequins seem to look back at you sometimes. They can be scary. A perfect story for next Halloween Chris!

The faceless generic ones have been fodder for many a horror. I think I may actually prefer them headless coz those with facial features can be creepy like in the night time 🥲

Yep, the headless ones are not quite as gruesome, but still scary I think! 😉🏃➡️

I would be scared with both mannequins and clowns. Is it just me? But don’t answer that!

I agree, once AI takes over the mannequins we are all doomed. I enjoyed the build up of tension in your story.
