It was the Christmas holidays, everyone on the streets shopping and having fun.
"I like this dress", she said to the salesmen.
"Madam, you can try this outfit" he said pleasingly.
He offered it. She hesitated. Then took it from him and put it back down. They tried another one and again it was rejected.
"Do you have anything better?" She asked impatiently after they had attempted all possible dresses in a row.
"I think we may have something", the man said with a grin.
He pointed at the mannequin and it was wearing a beautiful floral dress with embroidery everywhere.
"We've got this one!" He exclaimed.
"We are giving 50% off on this single dress "
She looked at it. It did look good.
"Let's get it!" The salesman cheered her up.
They approached it and the saleswoman smiled brightly at them.
"This will suit you perfectly." He grinned.
the salesmen took off the dress and gave it for trial.
As she wore it, she felt something move.
She glanced at it. It seemed to be staring back at her.
she shivered slightly and then realised what was going on. The mannequin's eyes were looking directly into hers. Her heart began to race faster and she turned away from it. The male mannequin moved towards her
and grabbed her hand.
she tried to pull away but his grip grew stronger.
It's head moved closer and closer until it kissed her cheek.
her skin tingled from where its lips touched her as she backed away in terror.
as she stepped out of the dressing room, she heard laughter coming from behind her.
He he walked up to her and stared straight into her eyes.
his lips stretched into a smile.
he leaned in close to her ear.
His voice sent chills down her spine.
"You're so beautiful."
"I will give you another discount", the mannequin
as it pressed itself against her.
"No", she said softly as she broke free of it. "Please".
The mannequin stopped dead in his tracks and let go of her arm.
she turned around and ran out of the store.
the rest of her shopping experience consisted of crying in an ally.
