four great funeral pyres cast their glow up into the cold sky. the blaze illuminates an old sign, all but five of its letters lost to time

a woman tries to address her aching back

a man expresses interest in joining the armed forces, oblivious to the reality that his poor eyesight will result in him being turned down

an endless void, surrounded by a deadened nothingness screams out in a desperate bid to distinguish its identity from that of its peers

a cat quietly contemplates its existence. it questions its purpose in the greater scheme of things as its lips form a worryingly human grin.

the briefest of sparks offers a gaze into the bleak emptiness of the world. four letters stand out, highlighted a deep red by the quiet glow

a red herring

man with hand tied to face declares alpha male status over unicorns, implies threats of magical activity

a bloodied male sex organ

a heart-shaped chasm cruelly sliced from an unsuspecting sheet of tissue paper. its very existence cut short by the cold scissors of fate

a stripper dwarf revels in the freedom of her nudity

a large spring rusted from years of disuse hangs dejectedly from a giant letter 'Z'. it sways to and fro, knowing only a tired resignation.
