He takes all the photos with crosses on them, lining them up on his thighs. It's a chore trying not to drip blood on everything, but at least he manages somehow. ]
There has to be something similar about these. The last set of pictures we had made a puzzle-- the "REPLACE" puzzle. [ When he blinks, the pictures on his lap change for just a second, and he sees the people, sees the way their hands were scratched out, and--
