Instructions

Summary

The poem made me feel like I was being watched. It was a constant feeling while I heard every word spoken. I wanted to emulate that and try to portray someone adventuring while being watched by the world. I included eyes in as mnay places as I could fit them, eyes poking out of the woods, Fresno Nightcrawlers, and the Hell Valley Sky Trees (which have a very cool name despite being a random part of the background in a single level of Super Mario Galaxy) which always made me feel very uneasy and like I was being watched.
