A local production called the innocents finally opened showcasing the talent of local stars. At the set is a portrait, about which legends abound, about its supernatural ties. For a long while, this picture was in the safekeeping of a person who prefers to remain anonymous. The lady was said to be traveling down the road when her eyes caught this photo and she had to park and buy it, for reasons even she cannot figure out.
How can I possibly afford this, she thought as she waited there for the clerk to take the photo from the window. She remembered needing to buy books, clothes and supplies soon for her kids, who were heading back to school soon. There is just no way I can afford to buy this so I am sorry I cannot take it, she thought to herself first before talking to the clerk. The woman suddenly shrieked that she wanted the painting badly no matter what and so the clerk did not return the portrait in place anymore.
She hurried out of the antique store after paying the attendant but she could not figure out why she got that picture even as she could not afford it and she was also wondering about how she will explain herself to her spouse once he gets home and sees what she had spent so much for. Painted between the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s, this featured a Borzoi, a Russian wolfhound and it was painted in oil. The Borzoi in the picture was painted in an almost straight on pose, capturing only the head and shoulders of the wolfhound and this something that someone whose eyes are familiar with the Borzoi should be able to point out, apart from the fact that it was a very alluring piece of art. There is no proper proportion when you look closer at the shoulder and chest.
This lady who bought the picture was very familiar with the breed, and knew exactly how a Borzoi should look like and this made things much weirder. That night, her husband arrived and found the picture hung against their wall but then instead of blowing up since his wife overspent for that painting instead of buying the needs of their children first, she was surprised that he felt exactly what she gad felt too when she first saw it.
Going through all the photos shot by both amateurs and experts in photography, it was a wonder how no two shots of it ever came out to be the same. They cannot understand why there would be times that on the Borzoi painting’s right side, a spectral face would appear while there are moments when the dog in the picture would look flat then suddenly three dimensional at other times and then there would also be bizarre lights lingering around the portrait and making the person see it to be in color and sometimes, in black and white.
?I certainly do not think that there is something strange about this portrait for we can just blame it on too much imagination and perhaps some kind of light reflections, shared the husband when he and his wife discussed the possibility of an entity accompanying the portrait they bought. It was creepy how a large ceramic plate which hung on the wall fell to the ground but as they saw it, it was not broken and neither did it have a crack.
The owners of the portrait were approached by the producer director who heard about the painting and explained to them that his play was a story of the supernatural so they gladly agreed when he asked them if he could loan it for the set of his production, The Innocents. The couple shared that they felt of something moving into the house on the day they purchased the Borzoi painting and they were hoping that letting this get used in a local theater production, the Innocents can reveal some things they never knew. This being the truth is what they are hoping for.
