Winter Atmosphere

Zee stared longingly at the mattress as Hari spoke, but frowned. "I don't know, It'd be an awful long trip to make." There wasn't just the swim ashore to think of, but also dragging the thing across all of Auster and half of Boreas home. She dismissed the idea sadly.

Once inside the structure it was obvious how much more there was still yet to see. She was looking over at the stairs, until Hari's words caught her ears and she whirled. A human? No. Her lip pulled back as she snuck close to the thing, sniffing it also. "Shouldn't it be rotten, or something?" She asked hesitantly, lifting a paw to lightly nudge the mannequin with one toe. "Look there are more over there." Zee motioned to further down the hall, where more mannequins lay discarded. "Do you think there was some epidemic, and it killed them all off?" The clouds began to gather outside, the sun's light becoming hidden. The windows that previously kept the structure lit grew dark, and suddenly the building felt ominous. "Do you think it's haunted?" She whispered.
