ALT Quinn gripped her camera and leaned forward, her shins pressing against the greenhouse ladder. Face to face with her majestic corpse flower, she held her breath as its infamous, putrid odor spilled from the curling burgundy folds. After years of careful cultivation, she couldn’t afford to miss a single stage of its first bloom. The camera’s shutter clicked one final time as she aimed into its central chamber. Satisfied with her shots, she climbed down and switched on the exhaust fan. Through the greenhouse glass, she watched her elderly neighbors on their back deck, gossiping as usual, completely unaware of the olfactory surprise heading their way.

You remember she invited us over to look at some big, stinky flower tonight?” “Well, I’m not goin’. Bet you I’d pass out if I go
ALT This board contains black and white and sepia (shades of brown) images. There is a diagonal sepia stripe of images which runs from top right to the bottom left of the board. The first image is a person illuminated by a bright light in a dark and misty place. The second image shows a story sea and sky, the sepia image is of the grim reaper walking through a dark tunnel. Top right sepia showing a spooky face with empty eyes staring from high through tall trees among which are headstones. Moving down, there’s a courtyard and a raven in a winter tree. The middle image is of the interior of a gothic cathedral with high stone arches. Next to that are more headstones and skulls. Bottom left holds yet more. Next to that image, in the bottom middle is another split image - the top a gargoyle demon, the bottom stormy sea. Finally, the bottom right image shows two ghostly see-through characters. Their faces and bodies are blurred as though they are moving too quickly for the camera to catch them.
