A man working in an ad agency suddenly became terrified of nearby mannequins. In an ecstacy of fear he leaped from a window to his death.
“They’re after me! They’re after me!” David Caquais, 43, shouted while frantically pointing at the blank-faced dummies in the Garment District offices of Catch NY around 9 p.m. Jan. 2.
“This guy’s running around . . . he’s kicking the window panes. He’s using his fists, his elbows, trying to get one window pane open,” said a worker at Avalon hotel across the street.
“He’s yelling all kinds of things . . . He goes to a fourth window, and that’s when he gets enough room to get his body through . . . and he jumps,” the witness said.
Every day the world belongs to Thomas Ligotti a little bit more.
