the pic looks scary... :wacko:

VERY VERY disturbing... i see... i almost freak out... it really disturbs you...

it looks scary and yes, very disturbing...

I dunno, but I didn't see anything disturbing or freaky in the pic of the painting, just a couple of weird looking kids that really aren't that scary. Am I supposed to be seeing something else?

C.

stare at that girl (which is a doll) eyes..
then look at that boy eyes, it's hollow..and there's a hidden man, see if u can find him..

I'm with CLJ on this one. I don't think its freaky... I kinda like the photo... And I feel like... I kinda connect with the boy. The hands and legs in the back on the photo... I dunno. So peaceful. So quiet. Just like the night...
