Lucille appears in a hallway. The hallway is long, grey and cold. It leads in to a room the room that’s being haunting Lucille for so long. It's a dream, it’s always the same dream.
Lucille is in the room. The room is perfectly square but the lighting is dim. To her left on the wall thousand of books are stacked neatly each and every one of them a different colour, everything else is bland, dusty and very grey.
The door she entered closes then disappear, Lucille panics banging on the bare dusty wall. On the floor in the middle of the room a grey body lays, a mannequin with brown hair and bendy limbs and no face. She sees that the mannequin has facial indentations, but that is all.
Splodges on the walls appear, trickles of red, drip down spouting from the clammy walls running down on to the ground, drip,drip, drip. It then begins to trickle down faster and faster. The mannequin moves, grey arms reach out, fluttering, twisting, clutching. Its faceless face looks up, it hums angrily, it crawls towards Lucille, each movement an awful crackling noise, and the humming intensifies.
She backs up against the wall in shock, too stiff to move or speak. The monstrosity slithers and grinds, the sound of a cement bag being dragged, it edges closer, a long slimy forked tongue protrudes from its mouth flicking at her. The books begin fly out hitting the other side of the room. The monster moves closer and closer towards her clasping, twitching, spitting, flicking. The humming is loud and deafening, the blood still spurts from the walls saturating the floor. Lucille closes her eyes and punches her arm trying to wake up. The freak clasps her leg and pulls her down.
Inspiration for this piece derived from a mixture of films, games and music videos. I wanted to create something that I find un-familiar and absurd. Blood coming out the walls is quite weird and questionable, why would blood be running out of the wall?, who's is it? and whats the story behind it?. This idea came from 'Hellraiser' (Barker, C, 1987) when one of the 'Cenobites' (bad demons) drags a knife against a wall and blood appears. Mannequins are also scary objects because they are made to obviously seem so real, it would be very creepy if these things decided to move.
