the power of suggestion

for most of my adult life i would have looked at this photo and thought about a nest full of awkwardly adorable fledglings squawking at their parents, begging for an insect or a bit of worm. now i’ve made the terrible mistake of letting my 14 year old talk me into season two of “stranger things,” and all i can see is a black hell populated by demogorgons hungry for the flesh of my family. thanks, duffer brothers.
