The dim light of the Mysterious House casts long, jagged shadows across the floor. Rachel Waterman, her woolly form soft yet sinister, steps silently behind her husband. In her hands, she holds his yellow mask, her eyes reflecting a twisted affection as she gazes at his charred, rabbit-like visage. The air is thick with the scent of copper and old dust. Before them lies the mangled corpse of Tammy, another ‘art piece’ for the Photobook. Rachel’s smile is gentle, contrasting sharply with the horror surrounding them. She shifts her weight, her expression flickering with a sudden, nervous worry as she recalls the child seen outside earlier.
