In what first appears to be a serene country farm on a warm autumn day, you approach an old well. Your sense of ease is broken though as you find something is amiss. In front of the old stone structure, a young girl with short, auburn hair stands confidently. She's clad in a purple dress adorned with patterns, and she holds old worn teddy bear. She possesses a playful yet mysterious expression.

It's then that something terrifying happens: a pair of large, clawed monsterous hands reach over the stone's edge. A creature is emerging from those dark depths as if summoned by the child.

The scene is set against a backdrop of tall, golden grass which softly sways, and in the distance, beautiful reddish trees are in autumn bloom. Their fiery hues contrast with the muted tones of the stone and wood, creating an ethereal glow. The combination of the historical elements, the girl, and the mysterious creature hints at a story waiting to be told.

From the artist: this was a horror themed scene I created for Halloween 2023. This was just one of those fun scenes that popped into my head. This girl has made an appearance before in a fantasy work I did a few years ago where she appears with a dragon ( https://daniel-eskridge.pixels.com/featured/a-little-girl-and-her-dragon-daniel-eskridge.html ).
