NIGHT OF THE
LIVING DUMMY III
Goosebumps - 40
R.L. Stine
(An Undead Scan v1.5)
 
1
The stairs up to my attic are narrow and steep. The fifth step is loose and wobbles when you stand on it. All the other stairs creak and groan.
My whole house creaks and groans. It’s a big, old house. And it’s kind of falling apart. Mom and Dad don’t really have the money to repair it.
“Trina—hurry!” my brother, Dan, whispered. His words echoed in the steep attic stairwell. Dan is ten, and he is always in a hurry.
He’s short and very skinny. I think he looks like a mouse. He has short brown hair, dark eyes, and a pointy little chin. And he’s always scurrying around like a mouse searching for a place to hide.
Sometimes I call him Mouse. You know. Like a nickname. Dan hates it. So I only call him Mouse when I want to make him mad.
Dan and I don’t look at all like brother and sister. I’m tall and I have curly red hair and green eyes. I’m a little chubby, but Mom says not to worry about it. I’ll probably slim down by the time I’m thirteen, next August.
Anyway, no one would ever call me Mouse! For one thing, I’m a lot braver than Dan.
You have to be brave to go up to our attic. Not because of the creaking stairs. Or the way the wind whistles through the attic windows and makes the panes rattle. Not because of the dim light up there. Or the shadows. Or the low ceiling covered with cracks.
You have to be brave because of the eyes.
The dozens of eyes that stare at you through the darkness.
The eyes that never blink. The eyes that stare with such eerie, heavy silence.
Dan reached the attic ahead of me. I heard him take a few steps over the squeaking, wooden floorboards. Then I heard him stop.
I knew why he stopped. He was staring back at the eyes, at the grinning faces.
I crept up behind him, moving on tiptoe. I leaned my face close to his ear. And I shouted, “BOO!”
He didn’t jump.
“Trina, you’re about as funny as a wet sponge,” he said. He shoved me away.
“I think wet sponges are funny,” I replied. I admit it. I like to annoy him.
“Give me a break,” Dan muttered.
I grabbed his arm. “Okay.” I pretended to break it in two.
I know it’s dumb. But that’s the way my brother and I kid around all the time.
Dad says we didn’t get our sense of humor from him. But I think we probably did.
Dad owns a little camera store now. But before that he was a ventriloquist. You know. He did a comedy act with a dummy.
Danny O’Dell and Wilbur.
That was the name of the act. Wilbur was the dummy, in case you ............
