It was the year 1994 in Toronto Canada, a young 19 years old boy named Damien Blacksmith had moved not long ago to an apartment on the outskirts of the urban area of the city along with her best friend whom we will call Rose. Both were friends since 17 years ago and the bond between them was really strong because in the way their personalities could get complete one with the other, one day strolling in the cold streets of the city they stood with an antique store where they saw an old but interesting painting, in the painting appeared a naked woman sitting on the edge of a bed while staring down, both decided to buy it and take it to the apartment due to the little upholstery that it had. Already at night, both tired and in their respective beds they could hear sounds coming from the living room (place where they hung the paint), sounds that they couldn’t identify since they didn´t sound like an animal that these knew and much less like the sounds that a human being could make. When they went down they both observed how the picture was a totally reddish-black color and from it came a kind of body with symptoms of having suffered a mighty accident, once it was outside the picture he gave the pair of friends face and both were petrified to see that he did not have a part of his own face. The pair of young friends as they saw this they decided to run to face the spectrum that was in his living room but he had such an ability to move that he threw himself on the boy and bitted the neck killing him instantly, after this the girl would run to her room where she would hide under the bed, but that was not enough for the spectrum to detect her, knowing where she was, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited until she would be ready to give up and die. It is said that whoever buys the picture of the woman seated at the edge of the bed will expect a certain death on the first day of its obtaining.
