- But my jump was perfect—I stretched my arms and reached the edge of the grave.
- “Hey—!” Slappy cried out as I grabbed his ankle. I tightened my grip as I fell back to the grave bottom.
- Squawking in surprise, he came falling down with me.
- And as he came down, his big wooden head hit a rock at the top of the grave. I heard a loud craaack. The sound of cracking wood?
- Slappy went silent. He landed on top of me. I scrambled to push him away.
- I waited for him to stand up and face me. But he didn’t move. His eyes were shut. His legs were tangled. His mouth hung open.
- ...
- Slappy didn’t resist. He didn’t open his eyes. Didn’t try to fight me.
- His arms and legs bounced lifelessly as I shook him.
- I tossed him to the floor of the grave. I could see a jagged line, a crack, where his head had hit the side of the grave.
- I bent over him, hands gripping my waist, wheezing hard, struggling to catch my breath. Struggling to get over my panic.
- The dummy remained still. The eyes stayed shut. I gave him a soft shove with my shoe. He didn’t react at all.
- “Dead,” I said out loud. “Slappy is dead.”
