Write a description of the Watcher and then the cursed person

Object 1: Face in Wood Plank

The Object: 

In a cheap, particle board made of both dark and light wood, the profile of a face is clearly shown in the upper right of center of the edge. The figure has a dark eye, a dark eyebrow, and a large round nose. 

The Cursed: 

A young man using it as a footboard on his bed. He is a university student studying philosophy as an undergrad and began to show signs of other curses shortly through the semester. The organization was alerted after he attempted to crack a dozen eggs over his head in the middle of a lecture while shouting "Can you see me?" over and over again. 






Object 2: 2 Wooden Beads and a Rubber Band

The Object:

Two round wooden beads form the eyes, the center hole faces upwards, acting as pupils for the Watcher. Below it, a red rubber band forms an open screaming mouth. This watcher exudes an air of horrified judgment and shock. 

The Cursed:

A kindergarten teacher who failed to realize one of her children was playing and placed the art supplies in such a manner. She began to suffer the delusion that one of her students was still hiding in the classroom after the class had been dismissed, and continued to search for them until she was removed by authorities. When questioned which student, the teacher failed to give a clear answer, simply claiming it was "one of the kids".

Object 3: Art Supplies

The Object: 

Two rows of ribbon containers, a row of binder-clips, and a spool of wire. The objects were carelessly displayed in a craft store for customers to purchase, unbeknownst to the staff, they had created an entity with its placement until it was reported by a concerned customer. The owner of the store has been issued a citation. 

The Cursed: 

The single employee reported that there were less frequent customers as of recent, and that most reported the feeling of being watched. The employee attempted to reason with the customers, informing them there were security cameras, the customers all said it was the feeling of something not human. The employee reported the same feeling around their home, and installed heavy curtains around their apartment.

Object 5: Sink

The Object:

A purplish blue sink with three drainage holes underneath the faucet. Two smaller, round holes which take the appearance of eyes are above a third long hole which is representative of a mouth. There are water stains coming out of the two round holes giving the appearance as though the face is crying. 

The Cursed: 

The local resident wasn't even aware of the face-like Object until they woke up in the middle of the night and started to weep uncontrollably. At first they believed that it was merely allergies as the spring has started and they have a history of hay-fever. But the symptoms continued throughout the day despite the allergy medicine and eventually, upon using the bathroom in the evening realized the source of their problems and called the Organization.
