Being a former 'doodler' who scribbled 'artwork' on almost everything, I can relate to the picture. I didn't want to say this before, but it does resemble one of my old drawings. I would start out with a regular smiley face, then tack on the side ears, then add some curly hair with 'antennas'. Most of these had little lines at the top, as if they were transmitting something. (LOL) As for the mouth, it was common for me to draw big teeth with big fangs. I never thought I was showing hostility. All I remember was not too many people liking my 'artwork', and as I got older, it just faded away.

Where I was never 'trapped', I did find my myself in a basement once, where a couple steps broke on the way down. To make matters worse, there was nothing down there, but some soggy newspapers and a Marvin Gaye album cover. I carefully found my way up, but it was and is scary doing this alone. I would wager that 90% of the buildings I was in, I was alone.

And long beany-type seed pods? If that's it, there are exactly 12 of them in my area.

A Cold Room

I really like the way this place has decayed gracefully without the 'tagging' and trash thrown around. It really looks like a building that has been closed up for 20 years, without anybody ever going in it.

This one goes on the cover!!! It looks like that chair would fall apart if one tried to sit in it.

I would love to have a time machine and visit some of these places while they were still a beehive of activity.

Tree in a Cage

Puddleboy

Raising chickens in that pen would certainly make the tree grow faster (LOL) As for sap poisoning, I just went into Google to see if there ~is~ such a thing. Indeed there is, but it's from the poison sumac tree. Do you know how many of them I've knocked down with my bare hands? Judging by the results I received from Mr. Google, there is no such thing as sap poisoming from regular trees. I had better clear this up before I embark on creating a new urban legend.

Come to think about it, all of the buildings I've been in, were in the spring and summer.
