Red-Eyed Strangers

Sometimes the photographs I’ve taken of normal looking people show them to have fiery red eyes. Who are these people in my photographs?
———- from LaDoris H. Cordell of Palo Alto, CA
They’re Ektar Beings from the Negative Zone, lonely creatures who desire nothing more than to have their picture taken. Since they lack the physical density to operate a camera, they rely on you to do it for them. Like chameleons, they can approximate the outward appearance of your friends and family, but since the eyes are the windows of the soul, they can’t disguise their demonic interiors. I never take pictures of people anymore, so it’s been a while since I witnessed this phenomenon. But I remember it as the proximate cause of the end of my fifth marriage to, I believe, Marsha.
