I'm about to start carving our Jack O' Lantern for tonight, but I wanted to have something else to decorate our house with tonight.

Something scary and timeless, that represented our deepest fears.

Something I could put in the yard that would portray sheer hopelessness and despair. 

Something that would tell everyone who passed by that this was a dead-end, that all hope was lost, and nothing they could do would save them from imminent disaster.

Then it hit me: I'll just put up one of these.



That'll do it.
