Nurse! Our eyes!

Above: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! Don't do drugs, kids. I repeat, DO NOT DO DRUGS. Not even accidentally

Above: I feel like I'm being slowly digested by carnivorous marshmallow. Also, note the amount of blood on these first two screens on this page. That's because I can't find any of the guys who are shooting at me

Above: Aw crap...

Above: WHY? WHY WOULD ANYONE PUT SUCH A THING IN A PLACE INHABITED BY HUMANS?

Above: Mummy, am I going to Heaven?

Above: One screenshot, 3/4 of which is made up of glare. Syndicate artists, you have achieved today

Above: Hmmm, that glow coming from the other side of the door has to diminish as I get closer, right? That's how it works...

Above: Run to the light, Carol Anne! Run as fast as you can! Mommy is in the light!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and lie down in a darkened room for a good long time. With my eyes closed. And a blindfold on. Weeping.
