A yellow sky with orange clouds; beneath it,a flat orange-brown plain. On the right of the painting is a tall, perfectly vertical wall with a small arched doorway in it. At the very top of the wall is a horizontal rod with a large bell hanging from it. Also hanging from it is a small sign, suspended just above the doorway, with the word "Goal" on it. The wall is a red-brown color, with the front face reflecting orange. Running towards the doorway is the silhouette of a person. One level down, who knows how many to go. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

An overcast night, with no stars and only a hazy moon in the sky. Below is a house; more specifically, the cross-section of a small house. By "small", it appears that the house has only three rooms: a cramped little attic, a living room area, and below, a basement. The interiors of all three rooms are visible, like an open dollhouse. The attic is very dark and mostly empty, except for some boxes, dimly illuminated by the light coming in from a skylight. The living room is empty, except for a glowing television and a person standing in front of it, slightly hunched, hypnotized by the light from the screen. There is no light in the living room other than that which comes from the television screen. There is one indiscernible picture hung on the wall, and no other furnishings. But it's the basement that's most startling. The basement is totally empty, except for an enormous red blob with tufted fur, horns, and no facial features to speak of. The blob has one outstretched, clawed hand, reaching through a hole it has evidently punched in the basement wall. It appears to be digging a tunnel under the small porch of the house. If one is going to harbor monsters, one needs to bury them deep and remain alert.
