Hollow Rattle, mimic raises

A sudden spark twitched inside my core. My joints loosened, and my fingers curled with purpose. Turning to my right, I noticed the grinning skeleton propped against the baseboard. I stepped closer across the brown carpet, reached out, and tapped its plastic ribs with my knuckles. Click, clack. I mimicked the faint clattering sound through my audio unit, waiting to see if it would answer. It remained entirely motionless and hollow. I lowered my hand and stood beside it, quietly watching the dimly lit room.
