Pulled up in the parking behind the library and glanced down and saw an
headless body.  Shot three shots grabbed the book from reserves and
hightailed home to make supper.

I "liked" this one.

I'm going to take a contrary view and say I don't think it's creepy.
It's clearly a doll's hand, and it's under the snow.  Some poor kid
lost it.

Were it near a disaster, accident, fire or crime scene it would be
very sad, but without knowing anything of the surroundings, it's just
a bit sad.

I think I'd like it a lot more if it were rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

I think it's a good photo.

cheers,
frank

No, not creepy.  Macabre.

The story behind it is?

Quite.

I'm curious, why the horizontal format, it looks like it was shot in a  
vertical format?
