Byron,

Your picture is the before...

The first picture on this page

is the after.

Byron said:

Yup it's on my desktop on one of my monitors. Already had 3 people complimenting it.

Get your stuff in a IRL gallery dammit

Byron said:

All you need is Jay and Silent Bob in there.

Byron said:

I know this place.
I was lost & ended up here.
I picked up the paper & it read,
"Look around you. This is your life. Vast, empty & unassuming."
I immediately dropped the paper & ran away, tears streaming from my eyes.

Eventually, I found myself back in my neighborhood,
& the first thing I did when I got home was join the org.





I haven't been outside since.

I knew these pictures also reminded me of something else...



...that scary video game Silent Hill.

It does feel like Sunday morning in my neighborhood...makes me want to take my dog for a quiet walk.

shellyevon said:

Hmm...seems either "peace and quiet" or "fear and emptiness" are the main reactions...which, ironically enough, could both be terms we tend to use to describe death.

Actually, you could include "Last Man On Earth" with Vincent Price in your movie list as well...

Byron said:

I wonder what's written on that piece of paper in the foreground. It looks like it may have bullet holes in it. Does it give a clue to what happened to all the people in this usually busy restuarant? Is it just a discarded grocery list or something far more sinister, perhaps a suicide/homicide note or a cry for help from the horror that over took this sleepy little town?


I read way too much Stephen King...

Let's see... the piece of paper is home plate, the trash bin is first....






Nice pic, by the way.

Terilicious said:

Yeah, I had that scene in mind already, as well...

Byron said:

Well, I'm a postman (or mailman) so I I'll be thinking "what the fuck have I dropped?????"

Terilicious said:

The lone paper on the ground is what reminded me of the Silent Hill video game.
Random scraps of paper are supposedly there to "help" you.
But they don't clue you to the fact that weapon-wielding mutants will waiting for you around every other corner as you wander around this deserted ghost town.

You play video games? Cool. Not that adults can't play video games, I just imagined you sitting around and listening to old vinyls. Doing some jamming on your guitar when you felt like it. I don't know where I get this stuff.

theAudience said:

oooohhhh I wanna play!

Terilicious said:

It's an older game. Might even be considered tame by current standards.

Here's someone's review...

Silent Hill begins with a disclaimer warning that it contains violent and disturbing scenes. It's certainly warranted, because this survival horror game sends chills down my spine and makes my blood run cold. If Resident Evil is the Night of the Living Dead of video games, then Silent Hill is the Exorcist. The stage is set with the tale of a father searching for his daughter in a deserted town. With moody lighting and amazing audio, Silent Hill creates the most intense atmosphere I've ever witnessed in a video game. You view your character from behind (like Tomb Raider), and the camera swings around to capture the most dramatic angles. The creatures you encounter are weird and unsettling, and the line between fantasy and reality is constantly blurred as you navigate a surreal, even-changing world. For much of the game you explore pitch-dark rooms with the help of your flashlight, and your limited vision really adds to the tension. But the scariest aspect of Silent Hill is the eerie sound effects that increase in volume as danger approaches, heightening your sense of paranoia. The tension can reach unbearable proportions, and it's difficult to play alone with the lights out. There are plenty of "find the key" puzzles, but they tend to be more thought provoking than frustrating. I found myself slowly drawn into the game even as I became more and more anxious. Silent Hill is a legitimate classic, and perhaps the most terrifying video game of all time.

...Proceed with caution.

My fav. survival horror game ever!

the parking lot of cardinal cleaners (dry cleaning place that was up the street from the apartment building that i grew up in).

theAudience said:

Thank you! I love video games!
I wonder why they thought a mom searching for her kid would be scarier in the movie. I'm sick of seeing super mom's saving their kids. I wanna see a scared shitless dad doing everything he can to get his kid back.

Business must have been tough


I crack myself up!

Terilicious said:

naw...



this is the place i'm talking about. for some reason byron's picture reminded me of the parking lot and how i remember it from when i was little--the parking lot always seemed huge to me.
