The 80s air hangs heavy in the park. Thick trees cloak a bench where a frail, pale rat sits, hidden from view. Silence reigns, broken only by wind and distant traffic. He lifts a camera, shutter clicking sharply—once, twice. Clean sounds. He wipes the lens with a trembling sleeve, snapping a test shot of the empty path. Light, focus, timing. He exhales, eyes anxious yet fixed. If the machine works, so will he.
