Melted Plastic Faces
Anderson hurtled down the corridor on a stretcher. The attendants pushing him wore beak-like plague doctor masks. The stretcher ploughed through waves of child manikins with melted plastic faces. The manikins wailed artificially, smashing hard against corridor walls. Their screams reminded Anderson of real children. He reminisced before the stretcher crashed at the end of the corridor. The attendants helped Anderson up. He tried to thank them but his tongue betrayed him. Anderson admitted his vile crimes. He turned to see the manikins collecting their limbs and appendages, limping or crawling towards him. Their screams had turned to laughter.

I like the line "his tongue betrayed him." Right in my ally of things that do betray some. Like a plague. Excellent write!
