A Sudden Calm

Brian has showed improvement over the last two days. He hasn't been drawing the pictures as often, and neither has he been drawing them with the same urgency. I've not mentioned the dream, pictures, the faceless man, or tailor to him because I fear a relapse.

It was raining today so the children didn't get to play outside. Brian had been ignoring this recess, I think I neglected to mention this. He was very sad about it raining, he told me he wants to go out in play on Thursday. I'm so glad everything is blowing over, maybe things will go back to normal? For his sake, I hope so.

Brian's Art

I was able to get some pictures off of Brian, even one he made for me. I wasn't allowed to post ones that had his name on, so I only took the ones I was allowed to have. They are strange, and very disturbing for me. I hope he gets through his nightmares.

 This was the first one he did; he made many of these over and over again. Same symbol, same colors. He was very urgent about them, and nearly screamed when he showed them to me, telling me they were important. How, I do not know. However, I recognize this symbol from the snake hallucination Alice had about a month ago.

 He drew this when I asked him to show me what the Tailor looked like in his dream. I asked him to draw a face, or some hair on him but Brian seemed set on him remaining faceless. He added the blood in last, I'm not sure if it was a mistake on his part or not, but its definitely like the dream he told me about.

Lastly, is this. It seems even though the nightmare scared him, he was still able to draw some birds for me. Apparently my love of birds rubs off on others. They are rather cute, aren't they?
