The lights are low and you're walking home from a friend's house. 

The old neighborhood scares you on these quiet April nights. Pockets of light and shadow dance near the corners of your eyes; you always feel followed. An owl's ghastly call comes on the wind from the north while you cross towards main street. Other than that horrible sound, the town lies impossibly silent. 

You begin to pick up your pace, hoping to make it home before the sun sets entirely. Flanked by “closed” signs and the impenetrable blinds of the local businesses, your feet hit the pavement. You start hearing a twin pair of footsteps behind you, following you into the night. You turn around and there is no one in the looming darkness. Breathing deeply, you hope it was just your own steps echo. The approaching footfall becomes louder and louder, slowly losing its sync with your own pace, but there is still no interpretable shapes in the wild nothingness over your shoulder. 

Stepping into a side street to catch your breath and slow your beating heart, a human shadow falls before you. You turn and see the outline of a tall, still man silhouetted in a nearby doorway. He is so still… oh, just a Mannequin. You laugh to yourself and move closer to the figure draped in thrift-store clothing. Nothing to be afraid of. 

But as you turn away to continue home, you're certain that the Mannequin moves.

We in the Mannequins are making big moves. We had a bit of a chill period in early March, but we've been back at it for the last few weeks, and we're gearing up for an eventful April.
