The Gaze That Never Leaves

This is not just a picture. As you look at it, a strange feeling creeps into your thoughts. Perhaps you already sense that your gaze lingers on it longer than it should, because this image refuses to let you go. As you stare, it feels as though something is digging into you—not the face, but what lies behind it. You won’t forget it, because it won’t allow you to. When you’re alone, it will come to mind, and it will be there with you in your thoughts. When the silence surrounds you, when the lights go out, the feeling will return. And then… you’ll feel that cold chill on the back of your neck, as if something is watching you. You don’t know why you feel this, but you can’t escape it. Did you look into the depths of your own mind, or did something else look back at you? This image doesn’t just look at you. It lives within you.
