"See the sleepwalker, floating down the street, ripped from some nightmare! A street of misshapen houses with brooding windows, streaked by dagger strokes of light and darkened by blots of shadow! You will immediately feel the terror in the movements of that floating grotesque!"
(The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, 1920)

Sitting at home... daydreaming... or did I fall asleep???
When I became aware of where I was, I was swinging hypnotically at Utsuku City, rhythmically swooshing away to the eerie music and struggling to keep alert as I kept a wary eye on the shadows creeping all around...
Hitomi Zimer of edge grafica is a magician - astounding in her creativity, galant in her generosity and absolutely exceptional in the attention to detail that each of her superb creations exhibit! I've never missed one of her designs and although I just raided my inventory and deleted at least 30K worth of stuff... my edge grafica folder is chock-full as ever and I couldn't part with any of it if I tried a thousand years!

As a reward for the moments of solemn and somber heart-rattling horror on that swing these gorgeous engineer's boots landed in my inventory! Just click on the Utsuku City Members sign when you get to edge grafica and then revel in the somnambulistic atmosphere (each item can be prize-camped in 10 minutes) like I did!
And if you have never seen "Caligari" - then toddle off and get your grubby fingers on that film... a cineastic revelation and one of the finest suspense films of all time! *BOO*
