Flora part 1

Beep. Beep. Beep. Flora slammed her hand onto the alarm clock and groaned as another boring day working at the shop that her sister and her worked at. She got changed and walked into the flats living room, greeted with the sight of her mum Jackie Tyler sitting on the couch with a mug of tea in her hand and her sister getting toast out of the toaster handing her a plate. She stuffed the toast in her mouth, grabbed her bag, kissed her mum on her cheek and called for Rose.

The morning went quickly lucky for Flora and soon she was on her lunch break with Rose and her sister's boyfriend Mickey. Personally she thought Rose could do better, not to mention she found Mickey extremely annoying and clingy. So instead of joining in on the conversation she stared into space. A habit she did often. Left alone to her thoughts. It was then time to head back.

At last it was the end of the day and she started to head out of the shop with her sister but was stopped by a security guard who handed her a bag of money.

" You go home to mum Rose and tell her that I will be home a bit late and will catch the bus." She told Rose then headed to the lift where she grudgingly pressed the button.

"Wilson?" She called, "Wilson I've got the lottery money," Flora started to move towards his door and knocked.

"You there ?" She wished he would hurry up as they were going to close the shop soon. Suddenly a rustling sound could be heard. Flora's head whipped around to the direction it came from. "Hello?"

She pushed open a door and flipped the light switchto reveal multiple shop dummies. "Wilson?" she called again. As she walked further in the doors through which she came slammed shut and she turned around with fear starting to creep its way into her heart. She ran back to the doors and tried to open it only for them to be locked. She looked back again and said " Is there someone mucking about?" One again she was walking back down the corridor not noticing a mannequin turn its head. It then started to walk towards her. Fear was consuming her now. Whatever this was, whatever joke this is Flora was not finding it funny. "You got me." she said hoping this would stop the prank. It didn't. More and more shop dummies were moving towards her and she backed up. "Derek is this you?"

They were cornering her and she tripped and fell backwards. She got up with her heart beating fast as she desperately looked for somewhere to run to. The shop dummies rose their hands ready to strike her. Flora shut her eyes tight expecting the worst whena hand grabbed hers. She opened her eyes and looked to her lest to see aman in a leather jacket who looked back at her and said "Run."

She didn't need telling twice. Never letting go of his hand, Flora sprinted with the strange man in front of her and a hoard of shop mannequins chasing after them. They burst through a pair of doors and continued running. The man then lead her into a lift but a one dummy managed to get its arm through. Flora stood there in shock watching her saviour wrestle with a plastic arm.

"You pulled his arm off!"

"Yep." he nodded at her. He then chucked it at her and she caught it. "Plastic." He spoke again.

"Very funny nice trick." She told him though somehow she knew it wasn't. But she continued anyway, "Who was it students? I bet it's students."

He turned to look at her, "Why would it be students?" He asked.

" B…Because to get that many people to dress up they have to be students."

He smiled at her " That makes sense well done." His smile turned into a frown "They're not students."

That took Flora by surprise. "Well whoever they spare when Wilson finds out he will call the police. "

"Who's Wilson ?"

" Chief electrician."

"Wilson's dead."

She stood there in shock. Wilson's dead. How? Why? But she believed him. She didn't know why she just felt like she could trust him. "Who are they then?"

Without looking back he replied, " Plastic living plastic. Which would be a problem if I did t have this," he waved a small device in front of her,"So, I'm going upstairs and blow it up and I might die in the process, but don't worry about me no you go on go on," he told her pushing her away a bit," Go have your lovely beans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this cause if you do you will get them killed." He then shut the door. Flora stood there in shock staring at the door where the mysterious man just shut. The door burst open again jumping her. The man poked his head through. "I'm the doctor by the way what's your name?"

"Flora." She told him.

Grinning he said, " Nice to meet you Flora, run for your life!" He shook the device and shut the door again. Flora took of sprinting rushing out of the shop with the plastic arm still in her hand and stood on the path watching her work place blow up.
