Showcasing the talent of local thespians, the innocents finally raised its curtains. And once you look at the set, there is a portrait, the subject of many strange tales. For a long while, this picture was in the safekeeping of a person who prefers to remain anonymous. All of a sudden, as the lady was traversing the road, she stopped by a shop and mesmerized for some unknown reasons, she bought it.
As she waited for the store attendant to hand it to her, she wondered how in the world could she afford it. School was round the corner and they needed her to purchase supplies, clothes and books for them. So in her mind, she was preparing to advise the clerk that she would not purchase it for even with its beauty, there was no way she can afford it. I just want that portrait and I am going to get it no matter what, the lady shouted these very words, prompting the clerk to stay in place and no longer returned the portrait from where it previously hung.
She still could not fathom how she bought it as she was paying the clerk and then walked out of the antique shop then her thoughts led to her husband, certain that he would be so mad of her compulsion to buy that thing that she could barely afford at that time. It was a painting done around the late 1800's and early 1900's, featuring a Borzoi, a Russian wolfhound in oil. Even as one can easily see that it is a lovely picture, to someone trained will enough and knows a lot about the Borzoi, he would easily spot that the artist chose to paint in an almost straight on pose, where only the shoulders and head of the dog are captured. There is disproportion when it comes to the chest and shoulder.
The woman wondered how she still went ahead and got that strange picture even as her eyes were expertly trained toward the breed and knew that a Borzoi should not appear like so. Strangely, when her husband arrived home that night, he did not blow up as she initially expected upon learning that she bought that instead of the things needed by their children for he instead got so drawn to that painting, the exact same way she was upon seeing it.
Both experts and amateurs in photography took shots of this, but in the long span of comparing the photos, it was mysterious how no two shots of it ever came out to look exactly the same. It was both creepy and amazing how strange lights would linger on the painting's surface, sometimes making it look like it was in color and then black and white sometimes, then there would also be moments when the dog would appear to be flat then three dimensional all of a sudden but the most bizarre instance would perhaps be a spectral face showing on its right side.
During a certain time that the couple who owned the Borzoi portrait discussed the probability of an entity guarding the portrait or something, the husband dismissed it as hyperactivity of the imagination thanks to light reflections for there is not something unusual about it. A large ceramic plate that was on the wall suddenly fell without breaking, not even a crack in sight, and this was a mystery indeed.
During the time that director of the playhouse who is also its producer, heard about the portrait, he quickly went to the couple who gladly loaned it to him for it would be perfect for his play which was a story of the supernatural. They explained that they yearned to know who it is that moved into the house on the day they bought the portrait and they thought too that maybe letting this get used in a production such as the Innocents can enable them to discover what they wanted to learn. They can only keep their fingers crossed that this true.
