The horribly disfigured, eyeless face staring directly at me from a filthy, shadeless second floor window wasn’t necessarily there.
Costumes and candy fueled caterwauling continued on the crowded concrete steps, while that gruesome enigmatic image appeared to peer at nobody else.

A very creepy tone, indeed. For me personally, I find that faces such as these are many times myself looking directly back at myself. These be two creepy bits, Mr. Two Sentences. 😉

I love the empty cig box tossed on the ground… hopefully not from the trick or treaters.

I love and miss the stonework of New England, as in your picture here. Concrete and plastic has replaced many of the old trades simply for instant gratification.
I also like the flow and character of your words. You have a wonderful grasp of words, and a good heart…
Blessings…

Thank You so very much. I truly appreciate it. I did enjoy using “concrete” here because I meant as ‘something real’ not necessarily as stone.

Edward, I’ve been thinking about your steps and how effective they are here with your words, which makes them, an otherwise commonplace sight, menacing. I’ve heard that in filmmaking that *not* showing the obvious thing (the axe wielding guy, the zombie, etc) works because people’s own imaginations scare them more than anything else. Nice job!

I get tongue tied truly by your work. It is with great difficulty I can form words to describe what I am feeling. That IS Art! When words are lost and only Emotion exists. And you do Art so well!!!
