About This Quote
It was any outcast's nightmare. If I looked carefully, I suspected I might find it beneath the black paint of the small acrylic by the window. The green paint was mixed with some other colors to make it look like a tree. It had been painted on the glass; it had been placed on the glass to scare people away from a certain house.
The idea was to discourage people from going near a home. If they saw a knocked down tree, they would believe that nobody lived in that house anymore.
