Theresa got out of her BMW and looked around at the farm she had just
arrived at. She had been contracted to pose for a series of
pictures that were to be appear in a car magazine called Classic Cars
& Cuties. The location for the pictures had varied from a
rural racing track to the road where many illegal drag races between
souped up sports cars took place. For today's shot, she was told
that they would be shooting at the farm with a classic pink Thunderbird
car in the background .
She had just started to wander over to the nearby paddock to see some
horses trotting around when she heard the roar of an approaching
vehicle. It pulled up just next to her and out jumped a man in
his early 20's with thick black hair glistening with hair gel. He
walked over to her toting several bags of what appeared to be camera
equipment on his shoulder.
"Theresa, is it? I'm Gerry, the photographer for the shoot
today. The weather looks absolute ideal today so I imagine we can
finish all the pictures we need with just a couple of film rolls.
I had an assistant swing by earlier to set up the convertible so let's
take a walk over to where it's parked," Gerry said pleasantly
while wiping the sweat of his forehead that was building up under the
summer heat.
The two walked a short distance to the left of where they were parked
until they came across the pink car in question. It was in
immaculate condition with no sign of rust or wear visible anywhere on
the vehicle. The chrome bumpers still shined as if the car had
been never been owned before.
Gerry told Theresa that the car used to be owned by the president of a
major chemical production factory in Louisiana. It was rumored
that the factory did large amounts of secret military research for the
government in the late 50's which went on for some time. One day,
the president mysteriously vanished amid allegations of fraud and
misappropriation and was never seen again. His assets were sold
off to pay back taxes which included the car in question.
Theresa nodded as she looked over the car. "Cool car! Maybe
the company will throw it in as a bonus for me after the shoot," she
said wistfully as she ran her hands over the leather seats.
Gerry grinned broadly while simultaneously shaking his head. "I
don' t think so, Theresa, though you can always ask afterwards.
In the meantime, shall we get started?" he said while handing her
several garment bags.
A few minutes later, Theresa emerged from a nearby shed wearing a
striking pink bikini trimmed in a light blue and walked over to the car
where she took up her first position for the shoot. Nodding
approvingly, Gerry started to click off several shots as Theresa
assumed different poses when he asked.
Once Gerry had shot three or four rolls of film and changed cameras
twice, he handed Theresa a garment bag for the next portion of the
shoot. She was about halfway across the yard when she heard
Gerry's cell phone ringing loudly from where he was standing. She stood
and waited as Gerry engaged in a spirited conversation with the person
on the other end before he put it to one side and looked over at the
model.
"Theresa, I've got to go up to the farm house here for a
second. It seems the owner wants to take some of his cattle to
market today by the road we're filming in and wants to us to move the
shoot to another part of the property. Take it easy and wait here
for now. I shouldn't be long...." Gerry yelled out at the model as he
hurried off on foot towards the home at the far end of the property.
"Hmmm... well, this is great. What do I do in the
meantime?" the model wondered out loud as she saw the photographer
quickly disappear out of sight. She looked over at the pink car
and decided to check out the interior a bit more closely while she
waited.
Theresa opened the door on the driver's side and sat down
behind the white steering wheel. Looking at the odometer,
she saw there was less than 5,000 miles showing on the odometer.
Obviously, the previous owners had kept the vehicle in the garage
for the majority of its' ownership. Theresa ran her hands over the
sandalwood dashboard ( something put in by the previous owners)
and found not a trace of dirt or stains anywhere.
When she opened the glove compartment, she found inside
the usual array of road maps and vehicle registration. She also found a
small tube with the words SUNTAN LOT barely visible on the side
as time and heat had worn away most of the writing. Popping open
the top, Theresa sniffed the contents and found it smelled like any
suntan lotion available on the market. She rubbed a little into
the palm of her right hand and saw it had the luster and look of any
other lotions of similar ilk. Theresa even felt her hand tingling
a little bit as the warm rays of the sun mixed with the liquid in her
hand.
Opening the car door again, the black haired model
stepped out onto the dirt road and walked around to the front of the
vehicle . Peeking around quickly to see if there was anyone
within eyesight, Theresa slipped off her top and liberally
rubbed the lotion over her chest, torso, arms and legs. She then
closed up the tube and tossed it in her nearby handbag before leaning
back against the car hood and letting the sun beat down on her
body.
After a minute or two, the tingling
sensation that she had felt before in her hand was now all over
her body. Her skin was tingling as if every inch of it was being
stimulated by unseen forces. If she didn't know better, she would
swear that she was being caressed by her boyfriend Antonio in one of
their frenzied lovemaking sessions.
Theresa slowly reached up to pull off the
hat she was wearing when her situation took a horrific turn for the
worst. Her arm seemed to be frozen grasping onto her hat and
unresponsive to her thoughts no matter how hard she tried. The
rest of her body was similarly locked in place including her eyes and
mouth. She was unable to scream for help or look around for
anyone who can assist her. Out of the corner of her right eye
Theresa could see her skin rapidly changing into smooth glossy
plastic with no sign of humanity visible anywhere. Her breathing
had ceased altogether as her chest became twin globes of molded plastic
capped by bright red areolas. The transformation of her breasts
as well as her other private areas proved to quite stimulating for
Theresa and feelings of erotic pleasure mingled with her feelings
of horror.
"A MANNEQUIN... I'M
BECOMING A MANNEQUIN...WHY?...WHO?...PLEASE...HELP ME...HELP!!!!...."
Theresa screamed mentally as the process finished its work leaving an inanimate plastic display figure where a vibrant woman once was. There was nothing but silence now save for the distant mooing of cows and screeching of crows as they passed over a very bizarre tableau...
Next Day..........
Albuquerque

disappearance of Theresa Russell, a local model who was on a
nearby farm for a photo shoot. According to sources, the
photographer had left her alone for a few minutes and when he returned
, he found no sign of her save for store mannequin dressed in her
clothes standing next to her handbag. Police are currently interviewing
the photographer as well people who live in the area but so far have no
leads in the woman's disappearance.

corresponding to the case in question. It still sits there as the
police try and locate the missing woman..
They just don't know where to look.....
