Oh, I like this. Though of course I don’t cos we’re not supposed to like deathy things in case Death catches our vibes and comes chasing us!

I feel like Death is coming for us whether we pay attention to it or not. So, why not cheekily tweak its nose to show it that we don’t take it at all seriously? Yeah, I reckon that’s what we should do! 😛

This photo really reminds me a little of the main photo used of the character “Esther” for the movie, “The Orphan.”
I won’t have nightmares, but I’ll be seeing this image in my mind for days. Lol.

I always turn away from the barrel. Death will have to catch me unaware.

One cannot keep staring down death, that’s for sure, so I feel like your response is a somewhat healthier one, Kelly.
