My parents were out of town, so my brother and I were home alone with our three dogs. As the sun set and the atmosphere turned eerie, a feeling of dread loomed over me. I walked out from the bathroom and glanced over to a door that opened to our old game room. There were two mannequins there, one had the form of a female, and the other had the form of a male. They were staring straight at me with blank expressions. I felt my heart drop. I kept passing by them, creeped out but still curious. I called my brother over, and I could've sworn they were moving. Perhaps not physically moving their bodies, but their eyes followed you. And you could feel this dark, heavy aura radiating from that room. I was scared, and I had asked my brother to sleep in my bed with me. He laid out across the bottom of the bed, while I resumed my regular sleeping position on the left side of the bed. The dogs were scattered and snuggled up with us. We finally drifted off to sleep. I woke up, but barely cracked my eyes open out of exhaustion. I looked at the foot of the bed to see a figure next to my brother. I was terrified but didn't move. Instead I closed my eyes again, thinking I was either dreaming or hallucinating. I couldn't see it clearly, but I knew it was one of the mannequins. And I knew it was touching my brother, yet he didn't stir. I felt a weight on the left side of my chest, like someone was curled up against me. I opened my eyes, thinking it was one of my dogs. It wasn't. There was nothing there. I wasn't moving at all. I think I was just stunned. So stunned that I woke up, and was snapped out of my dream. The heaviness dissipated, and I didn't want to go back to sleep.
