A pale, elderly woman in a long, black Victorian-style dress stands in a dimly lit, antique room. The setting appears institutional, possibly a hospital or asylum, with muted grey walls and a long counter behind her. The woman's expressionless face and stark attire create a chilling and unsettling atmosphere. A cage-like light fixture hangs above. The overall mood is dark, mysterious, and suggestive of a gothic horror scene.
In a terrifying, horror movie, haunted lunatic asylum: Simon’s eyes were on the unnaturally tall, angular, stern-faced woman standing behind the counter. She was extraordinarily tall, wearing a long ill-fitting starched black dress and wide black belt, her gray hair wrapped in an excruciatingly tight bun. What stood out to Simon, even more than her astonishing height, was her thin ashen-gray skin. He stared at her, trying to understand exactly what he was seeing, then took a step back when she turned slowly toward them, her shining black mirror eyes focused directly on Simon. --v 6.1
