Mr. Phillips,<br>Last night I was sitting by a campfire with a friend.  We were discussing all the evil in the world.  A few years ago I went through some real hell.  I was describing to her, in detail, what it was like to stare evil straight in the face.  I won't get into specifics, but basically, I was eye to eye with what I percieved to be the human form of the devil.  I survived it.  I fought it and won.  Not one minute later, my boyfriend comes out of the house and begins to tell us about your photo.  It was really strange.  It made the hairs on my neck stand up.  Here, we were just discussing evil, next, this photo comes up.  It may be coincidental that there appears to be this image.  I don't believe for a second that you're photo was doctured.  I've read the strict rules you have on "docturing" photos.  I'm not some freak.  It's just that, I've seen evil and the way that I feel today about what happened, well, frankly, I am curious about this photo.  I've seen evil and let it dare show it's face again.  I am an American citizen and I will fight for our freedom.  There isn't any evil anywhere that I can't face.  I'm sorry for rattling on.  I hope you don't think I'm some weirdo.  I guess, like everyone else, I'm just trying to make sense of this all.  I've always been the kind of person that sees the best in everyone.  I am so sorry that you had to witness such horror.  I can imagine what it must have been like.  I was in Hurricane Andrew.  I know devastation.  But the sight you saw......I'm sorry.  Thank God you are okay.  Thank God there are people like you, that, despite your fears, you were able to capture on film the evil that happened to us all.  Regardless if the photo shows "images" or not, the act, in and of itself was pure evil.   Sincerely, Andrea Pastoria - Lapeer, MI, USA P.S.  Is there some way I can view this photo?<br>
