something wicked this way grows
Is it my imagination, or can you see agony on the face of this tree too? or maybe it is terror?
Its eyes are almost melting down its gaping maw, and I think I see something slimy like a tentacle wending its way down to encircle its neck.
I'll admit this one is harder to see - the tiny whithered body curled with it's face snuggled into the monster's shoulder while groping roots extend around it like gruesome arms holding it tight as it is absorbed into the body of the beast, only the backward glancing elbow and bottom of the foot still visible as if once caught finally trying to turn away.
What poisoned soil has caused such deformities - branches twisted like broken arms never healed, hoary growths emerging from wizened orifices like nasty remnants from a diseased lover?
Maybe it's growing under the watchful eye of this ghost house.
