When I was just four, my parents and I moved to a new home. There were no doors and it lacked most of the furniture. For some time all my stuff was at my dad's office. ...but what permanently burned into my brain, was the first floor. I clearly remember the dread, when I realized there were no stairs. The only way up was a wooden ladder, the view from the first floor kept me up at night. To this day I have nightmares where I fall from there, head first. Terrified, I slept in my parents' bedroom. One day I woke up later than usual. Through the empty doorframe, one could see the place, where the staircase should be, so I often checked it compulsively. That's where I saw it, a human's mockery. Although its eyes were closed, I knew it can see me. I know what I saw - as tall as a tree, and as pale as me - the mannequin man.
