Gaping Maw

This thick plastic window was melted by one of many fires started inside... it now resembles melting flesh.

It very much does look like a huge open mouth.If someone painted some glaring eyes above it it would be really creepy looking.

That thing would startle the bejeezus out of me if I came across it in a pitch-black, burned-out building. Which is probably one of the reasons I don't do too much urban exploring - I'm a fraidy cat lol...
