Making Contact

Autumn chill in a suburban attic, dust motes circling a cracked porcelain face. A boy’s grief stirs something in the walls—spoon bends, pilot light flares, whispers behind closed doors. The dummy’s grin widens when no one’s looking. Feels like a Tobe Hooper picture babysat by a Z-grade Poltergeist knockoff.
