The narrow beam of Dylan's flashlight carves a tunnel through the Michigan night, catching swirling pollen and mist. He stands motionless, his tall frame outlined against the deeper dark, sandy dreads stirring in the cold breeze. His wide, dark eyes are fixed on the thicket ahead. A sharp rustle—dry leaves, a shifting weight—stops his breath. Hands unsteady with adrenaline, he raises the camera, its lens a silent pupil staring into the black. He sinks to one knee, moss dampening his pants, and gently pushes the foliage aside with fingertips, his whole world narrowed to the viewfinder and the promise of a miracle.
