[Short Short] Episode 3: 'Time in the Photograph'

[Short Short] Episode 2: 'Unread' is here👈

──Morning.

I head to the station as usual.

The scenery is no different from yesterday.
The sky is no different from yesterday.
The station front is no different from yesterday.

Suddenly.
I thought the morning light was beautiful.

Casually, I take out my smartphone and
point it toward the station front.

One shot.
I took a photo.

I check it right there.

……It was a sunset.

I look up, startled.

It was morning.

Once more,
I look at the photo.

It was definitely a sunset.

The people walking in front of the station.
The bus waiting at the light.
The shadows of the shopping street.

Everything,
is dyed in the evening light.

I close the screen.

Once more,
I look at what is in front of me.

It was morning.

"Maybe it's the camera's auto-correction..."

Modern smartphones
sometimes change the colors on their own.

Thinking that,
I put it in my pocket.

──Noon.

During a break at work,
I open the photo once more.

This time,
it wasn't a sunset.

Inside the screen, too,
it had properly (?) become noon.

"I guess it was just my imagination after all,"
I smile a little and close it.

──Evening.

I return to the station.

Suddenly,
I remembered the photo from the morning.

I stand in the same spot.

I open my smartphone.
The photo I took in the morning.

The scenery captured there,
and the scenery before my eyes,
overlapped perfectly.

The station front illuminated by the setting sun.
The position of the bus.
The people walking.
The shape of the clouds.

Everything,
was the same.

Even though I should have taken it in the morning.

The photo,
was capturing the current scenery.

Deep in my chest,
it gets a little cold.

But.
I'm overthinking it.

A smartphone malfunction.
A bug in the image processing.

Lately,
things like that happen.

Thinking that,
I put it in my pocket.

On the way home.

Suddenly,
I tried to remember yesterday.

Yesterday morning.
Yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday night.

I can remember them all.

But.
Only when 'today'
began.

I just couldn't remember.

I look up at the sky.

The sunset
is slowly turning into night.

That color.
It was the color I saw in the photograph this morning.

I
pretended not to notice.
