There is only one picture left, he hesitates as he unveils is. The picture shows the back of Martins head, He lets out a gasp as he releases that whatever has been coming is behind him. The camera pans to reveal something out of focus behind him. Martin shuts his eyes and grits his teeth for a moment before spinning round as the thing moves at him
