Andrew Graber: Scattered Pieces

Scattered Pieces

 

Andrew Graber

 

Engulfed in a puzzle

A jigsaw puzzle

 

Pieces scattered everywhere 

Strange faces looking at me from all points of view

 

Bulging neon flashing eyes gazing at me creepily

Very creepily

 

Mouths are opening

filling up the air with a horrible putrid stench

 

Rotting yellow teeth barely clinging to their gums

 

 Forked serpent like tongues

darting in and out

 

Inch by inch

coming closer towards me

 

Inch by inch

coming closer towards me
