Sinister: ink polaroids

better late than never...

this one's a bit dark because it is nine in the evening, and the flash
didn't work. on the left you can see a girl, wrapped up in her winter coat,
trudging through the snow. she's staying away from the boys on the right,
because they've been throwing snowballs at each other and she doesn't want
to get caught in the middle, she's feeling cold enough as it is. one of the
boys is at this very instant jumping over a hedge, he's about halfway over.
he doesn't know yet that on the other side of that hedge lies a big puddle
of icy water, and that he will fall right into it, making a big cartoony
*splash* noise. he'll be dripping wet. the girl will giggle, then feel bad
about it.

the inside of a car, seen from the front window. outside there's only miles
and miles of road, and desert. it's obviously summer, and it looks like
it's very hot, you can see the air shimmer in the distance. the car doesn't
seem to have air-conditioning, because all the windows are open, and the
two girls inside still look very sweaty, even though they're only wearing
shorts and tops.  they must be going camping, there's a tent, clothes and
food lying in the backseat, it all looks very messy. the girl who's driving
has jetblack hair, and is loudly singing along with the radio. the blonde
girl sitting next to her has put her feet up on the dashboard, and is
looking out the window. she's just spotted her first ever roadrunner. she's
smiling because it doesn't even remotely resemble the roadrunner from the
wile e. coyote cartoon.
