We posed with some of those mannekins two summers ago on a road trip to the Badlands. The idea of freezing in place there is creepy—like a “Twilight Zone” episode.

There IS a Twilight Zone episode about mannequins...very creepy, starring Anne Francis as the mannequin. That was a great show.

And Amie, I love these micro moments, so vivid, and so well-captured!

Wonderful! Am I sentient or not as a mannequin? If I'm not sentient, there are certainly worse ways to go. If I'm a sentient mannequin with a frozen face of happiness and internal turmoil, that would be hell.

I'll grant you not-sentient status

What a question! What a thought! Hmmm. Happiest moments...now you have me thinking of my own get-frozen-as-manequin moments. Also, was that place open in the late sixties, do you know? I remember it, or a place similar, on a road trip with my family when I was about ten. Very cool stuff. I do love your writing, Amie.
