The blood is great but, how about the way the light glows off her skin with an opal tint. Now that is amazing.

thats halla caray but it kinda looks fake .

Regarding my post on the previous image, my question stands answered.

Ya know, it really DOES seem odd that an asylum would have an on-hand selection of caskets. Perhaps a bit of history regarding the types of patients treated here would enlighten us.

Construction of the Hutcheson building was originally started about 100 yards west from where it is today. It's named after the past superintendent. After the foundation was completed and the steel work had a good start the whole building slid down the hill as an old abandoned sewer had been blocked by the new foundation. Much to my fathers dismay, the building site was paved over and the construction was started anew very near to our house. It was an early lesson to me about NIMBY. I can still hear the screams that came through my bedroom window on hot summer nights.
The Hutcheson building was where shock therapy and lobotomies were done. Those practices never sat well with me as I was growing up and I distanced myself even more from the subterfuge behind those walls. I never really trusted or befriended any patients although I knew plenty of them. There was always that uncertainty.
When the Hutcheson building was being built I made a lot of pin money buying pop at the canteen and selling it to the construction people at about 100% profit. Richard Goubeaud sold them groundhogs he shot on the hill. He got 50 cents for them. He and his mother made and bottled root beer all summer to sell on the job site to buy her dentures.
There was a big black man who was his best customer. He worked alone and cleaned up around the nearly completed building site at night and my sister and I used to listen to his jokes and funny stories. He was the first black adult I ever knew and he fascinated Nancy and I many nights in the summer of 51. I remember following him to the streetcar loop in Emsworth one time and ratting on him as a joke for bringing a dead groundhog on the trolley. The conductor thought that was funny as heck when our friend then offered to pay an extra fare for that shopping bag that held his dinner.
But a practical joke got out of hand when his construction boss asked him to clean up around the new, but not yet commissioned morgue in the basement. He had fixed up a mannequin with a big bandage on its head doused with mercurochrome. Then he put it on a stainless steel draw out tray in the morgue refrigerator. Our friend dropped dead when he pulled out the tray. I never learned his name.

Haha you can probbaly see me house from there.

Wonder how long whoever it was took to finally break it, and what was used?

What gets me is there is still a couple curtain, drape thingys, whatever you wana call em still hanging there, intact and look to be in good condition after all this time.

These were used to hold the laying hens
that offered up breakfast. Note the ventilation and how one could access
the eggs without the birds getting loose.
They also warmed the birds in the winter.
Trust me on this.

She is truly wanting someone to hold on to and she is reaching out to claim that someone...her prince of enchantment, maybe.

This is so awesome! She had spunk to lay in that tub. She seem as if she died and now laying for her prince to kiss her back to life. That blood cascading into the tub drain is so awesome. So life-like.

That stain looks like dripping blood. And she very mesmerized by said stain.

She seem be very determined leave this place. She maybe thinking of way to escape and when she does, watch out!
