fever dream, 7
We called my mom Sugar, which was quite possibly the most appropriate name ever.
And the only thing that would have been would better would be to have had two of her. (Seen here keeping my cousins, my sister, and me in line for a photo. Apparently at least one of us had been identified as a potential runner.)

No one ever knew for sure what happened that year at the prom. Almost all of the photographs were mysteriously altered. The photographer, a surly woman named Wilma Thorne, left town before school started in the fall, denying all the while that she’d had anything to do with any of it.

This poor bride. Not only are sleeves, her hair, her headdress, and her veil so big they barely fit in the picture, but her parents are lurking over there in the corner in a way that seems sort of predatory.
And then there’s the whole eyeball situation.

I can neither explain nor defend what happened here. What I can say is that it made me laugh and it made me a little frightened .
Side Note: the morning after he’d seen this image, my spouse reported that he’d had a dream about his mother and in the dream her face was gone.

If you’d ever wondered what would happen if you scanned a negative as a negative (instead of turning it into a positive) and then did a pile of edit-y things to it – this can (potentially) give you some answers.
Or other could haunt your dreams.
Or – if it’s your lucky day – both of those things could happen.
