- I had no way of knowing whether Krazy Glue would repair Slappy and bring him back. No clue. But it was my only idea.
- I pulled open the worktable drawer and fumbled through all the bottles and tubes and tools, screws and nails. My fingers wrapped around a tube of the glue.
- My hand trembled as I opened the cap. I held the dummy’s head firmly in one hand. And tilted the glue into the crack. I squeezed the tube until it was almost empty.
- The glue filled in the crack. A little glue ran down the back of his head to his neck. I waited for the glue to dry. Then I sat the dummy up on the worktable.
- “Please come to life,” I told it. “Please come back to life.”
- I stood there staring at the lifeless thing. Its arms hung limply at its sides. The eyes were closed. It didn’t move.
- “Please … Please. You’re back together now. Please come back to life.”
- I gasped as the dummy opened its eyes. The wide, grinning mouth moved up and down. Slappy slowly raised both hands. And wrapped them around my throat.
- ...
- “Let go!” I cried.
- The wooden fingers tightened their grip. The dummy’s eyes flashed with excitement. “I’m back, slave!” he rasped.
- - The Ghost of Slappy, chapters 28 and 29
