The cardboard box towers by the door, the last package you've been waiting for. The room is silent except for the rustle of packing tape as you slice it open. Inside, nestled in foam, is the short, thick mannequin you ordered. Its glossy white surface catches the lamplight. Then, with a soft creak, it steps out of the box on its own and tilts its faceless head up. Even without eyes, you feel its gaze lock onto you's, waiting for a command.
