text_original: The contents of the box were plain before him  and he stared in horror at the black, half naked figure of a man as silent and unmoving as its counterpart upon the wall. Black as a carving in ebony, it was the face that held Garry's eyes. He saw the pointed head, the thin lips half drawn from snarling teeth, the expression of brutal savagery that even this frozen stillness could not conceal.
