The person sitting next to you in the waiting room hasn’t blinked in 20 minutes.

That can’t be normal can it? You start to wonder if it’s why they’re in the waiting room in the first place… ‘Dr Perrot’ you muse ‘I can’t seem to blink…my eyes are so dry and my eyelids…they’re…getting flabby’. You give a wry smile. A suspected concussion doesn’t seem to be affecting your brilliant sense of humour!

You glance to your right again. Still nothing. Just then a well-dressed lady exits the Doctor’s office. “Thanks for letting me leave Lily here” she throws back over her shoulder as she scoops the person next to you under her arm and leaves the waiting room.

You do a double take but it is definitely a set of mannequin eyes staring back at you as the lady stuffs ‘Lily’ into the back of her SUV. Maybe you hit your head harder than you thought…
