Day Twenty-Five: "Strange Place"
Yes, of course, there are references to The Shining. I used the obnoxious twins from Alice in Wonderland to play the roles of the two girls in the hallway of the hotel. 237 is the number of the room which a character is told never to enter, and I placed the single numbers in a way that they suggest to be markers of a crime scene.
There are no doors though, and no rooms. Just a bare and small mattress on the floor, the pillow doesn't look like it would add comfort. It doesn't look like a place to rest or sleep. Maybe the mattress is the center of the crime scene, but there is no marker.
I could have named this piece "Hearing Room" as well.

Ha ha ha, Ewww! Creepy. Makes me think of an old school and creepy bullies. But then there is a mattress. Another one of those weird, creepy dreamscapes that escape definition. Ha ha ha. Rocking it Christiane ;)
