Hey, is Samantha seeing the certified freak in the painting too, or are our boys just cursed?
"... "Certified Freak"...?"
Samantha raises her gaze, only for her eyes to grow wide and her face to grow pale upon catching sight of something. The boys, confused beyond all merits, turn to look directly behind them...
... and... catch sight of the "freak" you spoke of... It lingers, just long enough for them to see it, to watch the black sludge trickle down its fingers, and then it is gone, vanished back within the painting.
The boys both stare up at where the arm had been, both much too scared and put off to say anything for a good while.
It isn't until Samantha speaks up again that they are broken free from their petrification.
... She, however, proves much less than unhelpful for the current situation, acting as though nothing was there. Nothing had ever been there. Nothing is.
"... But you... you looked terrified..." Joshua managed to say despite how his own body shook. "D... That just happened, we saw you, how can you..." He continued, baffled at the current dismissal.
Above the boys where the hand had been rests nothing more than the painting that had been there prior, as if nothing at all had occurred.
