The noise isn't wailing like a person, more like when metal grinds on metal, when something huge is horribly broken. Too loud, Unbearable. It has me now.
The box fills the frame, fire red and soot black.

Knocked on door to ascertain if burning smell originates in house. No answer. Think not anyway. Acrid smell is everywhere. I should not have touched the box.
Very close to the box now. It reflects fallen leaves. Its top is open.

Object appears to be made of glass or plastic, but warm to touch. Too warm. Smell of burning.
A closer view of the box. It is very red. What's it doing there?

Routine patrol notes: Report of "disturbing" object, wall of number 115. Caller claimed to hear "wailing" noise. I asked if noise came from house. Caller said no, from inside box, then hung up.

Old fashioned lamp-post with a small sign with arrows pointing left and right, in red paint. Left is "mayhem", right is "carnage". Between the two is a skull and crossbones.

Reading this thread has been a real affirmation of joy, thank you! Also - booked a last minute weekend break at the seaside, but there was a snafu with the booking so thought we wouldn't make it. But it got sorted by superb accommodation lady and now we have great digs in lovely quirky Hastings!

Harlequin Butterfly by Toh Enjoe: Beautiful little kaleidoscope of a book, exploring the fundamental nature of creativity, language, identity and memory through the pursuit of an elusive author. Reminiscent of Borges and Calvino at their most philosophically imaginative. #booksky #justread
Paperback of Harlequin Butterfly by Toh Enjoe. The cover shows whole and partial silhouettes of a butterfly on a red background.

Thanks for the nightmares @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social #AndThenEyesTookTheirSparrows #AndThenSparrowsTookTheirEyes
A pencil drawing of a nightmare scenario referenced on Three Bean Salad podcast where the sparrows of fairytale peasants are taken by batwinged malevolent eyes. The eyes of the peasants have also been taken, possibly by sparrows.

The extraordinary Cilwendeg Shell House Hermitage in Pembrokeshire. Hallucinatory, fragile, obsessive patterning, with protector owls.. #wales
Photo of ceiling of Cilwendeg Shell House, with hanging glass lantern, all covered by shells arranged in symmetrical patterns. Interior photo of Cilwendeg Shell House showing an owl sculpture and glass lanterns on a shelf. All are covered in shells, as is the wall. Photo taken from inside Cilwendeg Shell House, looking out through open doorway to woodland beyond. The doorway is a pointed arch. Next to the door is a brightly coloured stained glass window in a geometrical pattern of diagonal lines- this is also a gothic arch.

Death of a Bookseller by Bernard J Farmer: you may expect a novel about the London book trade, written and set in the 1950s, to be cosy & charming but this 100th BL Crime Classic depicts a seedy, ruthless trade with a surprising occult element. Very readable! CW: 1950s attitudes.. #justread #booksky

A portal needn't take the form of a showy portico or techno-vortex - a pair of dark boughs framing the sinking sun may be enough to shift your focus..
A woodland scene in front of a cloudy sky, with the setting sun shining through the leaves, and a single tree silhouetted in the foreground.
