Raised in perfect dark
Subject 3 gnaws his fingers,
Just to make some noise

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Ooh, LOVE how much horror there is in such a tiny package there. Amazing.
I thought the photo would be the worst of it, but no. After I slowly scrolled down. I was hit by a nightmare. Oh gosh. I can even hear it. The second time I read it. It feels like subject 3 is looking at me as he gnaws his fingers. Oh this is so unsettling. Awesome work as always, Sam 🤗❤️
Both both sad and terrifying! Loved it!
Dark and powerful in just three lines.
That's unsettling, sir. Well done, Sam!
You nailed the feeling of dread here. Nicely done!!!
Good one!
