The theme is gothic horror. A man stalks a dwarfish figure carrying a lantern on a crooked stick through a misty bog under the full moon’s light.

Seen in the fading light of dusk, three oversized scarecrows, seen more as an amorphous blur with unnaturally long arms and legs, hollowed eyes of yellow straw, and pallid, grimacing expressions, skulk in an eerie mist on a farmer’s field, where a man is digging a shallow grave. Three burlap sacks with bones sticking out lie close by.

Create a realistic image of the following: In the fading light of sunset, a beautiful, pregnant woman of Scottish descent with long, wavy, dark hair stands at the fork of a wooded path, her hands raised to her mouth, calling out to her lost husband. She is anxious and very concerned. A luxurious log home, forest and open field can be seen in the background. The mood is suspenseful and ominous.

A vibrant image showing a secluded beach off the coast of Greece. At one end of the beach there is a sculpture of Lamia, from Greek mythology. On the other end of the beach there is a depiction of Helen of Troy.

In a panoramic view we saw an older man with snow white hair standing in the water on a Mediterranean beach with the waves lapping his feet. He is accompanied by a woman with brown hair. Together, they are looking out across the sea. Hovering in the sky like a mirage, is the face of a beautiful woman with rose-gold hair.
