Sorry about the interruption. I'm going to keep it short because it's a bitch to blog on a phone.

I heard the crash outside, clicked the Publish button before finishing the last post, and went outside to see the commotion. There was something in the fireplace and Blood was there staring at it as the rest of it fell down from the chimney. It was a porcelain doll thing, split into jointed pieces that fell into place one. It had no face or any features whatsoever- it was a completely blank white mannequin.

It gurgled or something then went after Blood. She reacted and used branches on it but it didn't work. It just kept coming and slammed her against the wall. She kicked at it but it did nothing. I don't remember who was screaming, but I grabbed the towel rack from the bathroom wall and whacked it over the head as hard as I could. It cracked open so I hit it again and again until there was nothing above the neck stump but white powder. Then it got up and attacked again. Blood was really angry at this point. She knocked it to the ground and curb stomped the joints in its arms and legs until it was nothing but a porcelain torso. We rested for a minute and I told her we had to go and she nodded as another mannequin came from the fireplace and two burst through one of the windows. I put on my pack and she put on hers as the wall with the saplings of black blood suddenly imploded into some kind of rift? I never saw it clearly but it opened up to something other than the bedroom on the other side of that wall and three tree people stepped out and charged the mannequins.

We made our way out the back window, Blood only agreeing to come along because the mannequins were after us. We went a few miles, and made it to Jameson Ridgeway Toyota. Most of them were porcelain replicas or covered in weeds but there were three in the middle that were okay. We jumped into one, Blood hotwired the car and we drove off.

We're sitting at a truck stop sixty miles out. We ate some canned corn and siphoned some gas from other trucks on the far end of the rest stop. I don't know how long it's going to take to be free of them.

Anyways, that's it so far.
