A young girl
and her mother,
are visiting
a department store.

One moment,
the girl
is beside
to her mother,
the next,
she has vanished.

Moments later,
the young girl
can be seen
running away
with
a mannequin’s leg.

To some,
it might
be seen,
as
a youngster’s
prank.

To others,
it might
be
something else.
