mannequins. He hears a thump and his car rides over a bump.
Jake slams on his brakes and throws his car into park and
steps out to see what he hit. Jake sees that he ran over
and killed a lifeless mannequin. In panic Jake looks to see
if anyone saw what he did. He sees the mannequins who
caught his attention the first time, but now only one is
standing at the car and the other two are halfway between
where they were and his car as if they are moving towards
him. Jake looks in another direction and sees another group
of mannequins, one on her cell phone. Now he looks back and
the two mannequins are getting closer to him. Jake panics
and runs towards the bonfire where he sees a lifeless
mannequin that looks like his girlfriend, wearing his school
letter jacket, kissing another mannequin. Jake pushes the
guy lifeless mannequin into the bonfire and turns towards
his girlfriend. Now a group of 6 guy mannequins, one
holding a baseball bat, are all standing lifeless around him
as if they were going after him. Jake grabs the baseball
bat out of the mannequin's hands and swings at him knocking
his head off. Then he swings and beats all the other
lifeless guy mannequins to the ground. When he finishes he
sees a parked police car with lights on and siren blowing
about 20 yards from him with two lifeless police mannequins
in it. Jake now turns to face his girlfriend when he gets

eye's he sees the baseball bat is laying on the ground in
