A pile of old newspaper clippings fills the top half of the page. One has a photo of a middle aged woman being frogmarched by the police from a day care center. Another photo depicts picketers with signs reading "Hang 'em!", "Bag the Hags", Keep Ambroseburg Safe", and Life's a witch and then they should die".

Layers of tattered maps, photos, letters, and other printed matter stretch across two walls, connected by string and thumbtacks. A mirror above the dresser reflects the view outside the window where a disembodied leg (in camo pants and boot) stands in the moonlight, noticed only by the cat. Outside, tracks suggest that the leg has been hopping door to door through the neighborhood.

Okay, I got so carried away with the back wall in this image that WordPress won’t let me display it big enough for you to zoom in all the details. Click on the thumbnails below to get a closer look.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
