Darkroom

Pictures of little girls hung from clips connected to what looked like clothesline. In some pictures, the children were playing with each other. Solitary children filled most of the glossy white frames. Some were laughing, some crying or sleeping. Some were dressed up as princesses. All of them had her eyes; they were her children. "So this is what grandpa's secret was?" she whispered to her sister. "He loved black and white photography."

  2. To be honest, I vacillated back and forth between making it really creepy and simply innocent. I never did decide.
