Being 19 years old, he was in 2nd year university and was about to attend a wedding of his best friend’s brother. Having never attended a wedding before, he wanted to record the entire event as well as sending copies of it to his friend as a favour. This being the case, after a short discussion with his friend, the two of them agreed to spend half the expense each for a camera to save Jonathon some money. Going through plenty of technology shops in the shopping centres, it was clear that they could not afford (especially Jonathon) to spend so much money on a camera. On the verge of giving up, he was able to stumble across a garage sale near his residence that was releasing a camera for a very good price. The camera itself appeared to have been in perfect condition and at a price of $80 only. He talked with the seller of the camera, about its history, condition etc. “This camera belonged to two university students. However, the two of them were taking classes in photography as it was destined to be their future careers. Unfortunately, after purchasing this camera, their house was robbed and both of them were murdered in cold blood. Luckily the murderer was found shortly after the crime. These are the only two photos I have managed to collect from the pair”. The two photos showed a picture of two young boys. One with a beautiful blond hair and shining blue eyes whilst the other was of shorter stature, with short black hair and also a handsome face. Jonathon was curious as to why these two would have been murdered in the first place. The pair of them looked so innocent. “Can I have a go with the camera?” Jonathon asked the dealer, and after a response of yes, he took a quick snap at the window of the house behind the man. The pictures came out great, similar to a professional’s camera’s photo. There was no way Jonathon was going to let this opportunity slip away. “$80 and that’s a deal” said Jonathon. He gave the man the money and walked off with the camera. However, whilst walking away and towards home, he heard the window crack with a violent sound. It was a high-pitched sound which sent shivers down his spine. Feeling uneasy, Jonathon sprinted his way back towards home with the camera. The film for the camera was really expensive for Jonathon, so he refrained from taking so many photos with the camera. And, the wedding was approaching in just one week. Coming back home, he showed his entire family the new camera that he recently came in possession of. The family decided to take three photos after Jonathon returned home. He took a photo of his aging grandma, a photo of their pet dog and a photo of their plum tree at the front of their house. The results of the photo was once again, was surprisingly clear and satisfied Jonathon really much. He was able to sleep that night, with absolutely no regrets and became more and more excited for the wedding and the beautiful pictures that he will take. However, during the night, he heard a horrible scream from his Grandmother’s room. Everyone rushed to her room to see what was going on. She was shaking violently in her bed and a disgusting discharge from her mouth. She was quickly rushed to the nearest hospital, however, she died long before her body arrived to the emergency rooms for treatment. Upon arriving home, the family was in a complete state of shock. The family decided to go out of the house as a way to try and forget all of their horrible feelings. Jonathon declined the offer and was left to stay at home by himself. He lied on the bed, thinking to himself, how on earth could Grandma have died this morning? Her health was perfectly fine in fact, yet she died so suddenly, without any reason. Getting off the bed, he looked outside the window, searching for answers and fresh air. He stared at the open sky for a few minutes, and this time, he saw another fright of his life. His dog randomly walked across the street, only to be hit by a truck. He sprinted downstairs and out of his house to find the truck driver instantly shouting out apologies and begging for forgiveness for his carelessness. It was not usual for his dog to even be on the streets, thought Jonathon. He walked back into the house and was seriously concerned as to what was going on. This day, both his grandma and dog died. Both of them were really important parts of Jonathon’s life, yet both of them passed away without a clear reason. Grandma, who died with perfectly good health, and his dog which suddenly lost her mind and strolled onto the street before losing her life to a truck. Was it simply a coincidence, or was there something deeper to it? Was there some kind of evil spirit that arrived to the town? Was there some kind of new virus that has unpredictable and disastrous effects to the mind and body? Nothing made sense to Jonathon, until he remembered about the camera he brought. He thought of all the pictures that were taken from that camera, and realised something extremely strange. The two boys in that one photograph were murdered, the window he took a picture of cracked, Grandma died, his dog died and then he remembered the picture of their family’s plum tree. “This cannot be true…” he said, whilst rushing down to find the tree from the front of their house. He stared at the tree in front of him. Grey leaves, rotten plums, most branches were dead and fell to the ground. He realised what was going on. The camera itself is able to kill anything that it takes a picture of. Anything that has been photographed by the camera will be killed. If that thing is non-living, it will be destroyed (like the window that cracked). He was worried, but had to make sure that nothing more can be risked getting killed or destroyed. He ran towards his room to try and find his camera, to try and destroy it before any more harm can be made. He searched though his entire room, and was shocked when he couldn’t find it. As a last resort, he called his sister. “Hey Sis! Just wondering, do you remember where my camera was?” Rushing through those words. “Hey Jonathon. Sorry about your camera. We decided to bring it along with us for this little trip and we forgot to ask you. You seemed to have taken Grandma’s death so much worse than we did, we decided it was best not to talk to you.” She responded. He was glad that he was able to know where his camera was. He quickly explained to his sister that not a single picture can be taken with that camera. He knew better than to explain how it could kill or break anything it captures. “Haha, are you that worried about your money?” said Jonathon’s sister. “Don’t worry…” “Ah ha! That was a nice one!” Jonathon heard dad say. “What did dad take a picture of?” Jonathon shouted to his sister, Caitlin. “Don’t worry son! I took a picture of New York. It looks great. I’ll show you once we come back home”. And then, the phone call was cut, and a huge black cloud began rushing over. “Fvck you dad…” Jonathon muttered to himself. “Now we’re all going to die. Fvcking hell…”
