A roaring bonfire in which stands a giant figure, the flames rising around it. Flames come out of its eyes and mouth. Next to the bonfire stands a much smaller figure, holding out its left hand, from which is erupting a small fire. The drawing is primarily yellow, white, and brown, on a black background.

A roaring yellow bonfire at night, casting a yellow glow all around it. Sitting directly in the middle of the bonfire, at the heart of the white flames, is a person taking a selfie. That's it. That's the tweet.

A roughly bullet-shaped creature—cylindrical body, domed head, two spindly arms—stands on the ground at night in front of a small fire. The creature's left arm is up, fingers apart, conjuring up a flame. A full moon and starry sky are visible over the creature's right shoulder. The creature's face is eerily lit from below by the small fire in front of it.

A figure stands on a mound. It appears to be dancing: left leg upraised, arms apart, head down. It is silhouetted against a red blaze, as though it is dancing in front of a volcano—or hell itself.

A stumpy stone pedestal stands in the middle of an empty grassy area. On the pedestal is a small, child-sized statue, arms out. The right hand holds a long, crooked staff reaching down to the ground; the left hand holds a flaming torch. The statue is wearing a giant pointed Viking-esque helmet with three horns on it. The helmet is about the size of the statue itself. The background and sky are empty, suggesting an open, barren area.

A rough, humanoid shape—its silhouette would resemble a person in a cave painting—stands in what appears to be the middle of a desert. The sun blazes behind it. Everything is red with heat; a glow around its legs suggests the ground is radiating energy. The figure is facing the viewer, arms stiffly straight on both sides, an inscrutable expression on its face, zombie-like. To the figure's left—your right, that is—stands a barren, leafless tree. Both the figure and the tree cast long, red shadows.

A hellishly crimson day: a cloud-choked sun at high noon hangs over a wooded mountainside. The sun is dimly reflected in the lake below. Everything is red, everything is washed out. The air looks heavy, either with humidity or smoke.

A large, high-ceilinged room with an old-style mainframe computer in it. The room is somewhat dismal, containing a wall clock, bucket, and mop. The computer has a data cassette on the front, and a steel-framed door and window below it. The computer has many large pipes coming out of it, as though it is a furnace. Below the computer room, in a basement area, the base of the computer extends into a large concrete fireplace with a fire burning brightly inside. The basement is dark; there's no light except for that cast by the fire. A figure stands next to the fireplace holding a shovel. The effect is of a large computer with a door that opens into a coal burning furnace below.

A person stands on a barren hilltop on a gray, cloudy night. Next to the figure is a phosphor-green bonfire, pouring smoke; the smoke forms an enormous figure looming overhead, wearing a formal hat. The person is holding a phone and seems to be looking up in surprise at the figure. This is not what DoorDash deliveries typically look like.

A chapel-like building with three tall bearded, robed figures carved into the walls. It has no windows; the walls are covered entirely by the carvings. The doorway is an arched overhang. Below the entrance steps is a large arch over a drainage ditch or something. A figure with horns sits in the ditch, possibly seeking protection from—but, most likely, simply admiring—the vast fireball streaking overhead; the reckoning that those tired old men on the chapel wall failed to prevent.

A scene of two large, tenement-like blocks placed on a flat, desolate plain. Between them stands a huge, blazing figure, terrifying in its brilliance. Those who imagine angels as being of light should picture Lucifer. Standing in the shadows of one of the blocks is a small figure, up against the wall so as not to be seen. The blazing figure appears to be looking for something.

Two people sit before a campfire at night, facing each other. The person on the left has an arm raised, as though they're telling a story. Looming behind them like a huge shadow is a great black cloud with the radioactive trefoil on it, warped and distorted, like the face of a monster formed by smoke. Part of the cloud rises up from the head of the person on the right, as though it's a speech balloon; something they're describing. There are dark things out there on the desert—and under it.

A person stands high on a rocky mound on the middle of nowhere, arm outstretched, a fireball flaming up from their hand. Bizarrely, a mailbox is placed at the foot of the mound, door open and flag raised.

A person stands on a hilltop at night, blowing an enormous red fireball out of a bubble wand. (You have to look closely but yes, that is a bubble wand, and an absolute hell of one.)

A vast stone obelisk with a face. The mouth is an open cave with a fire burning inside. It is night. The obelisk is illuminated by a moon; an eerie, pale-green scene.

A figure sits on a blue sphere suspended in starry space, staring at a glowing red cloud a ways off. The figure holds a floating yellow ball, as though about to toss it into the cloud.
