Example dialogue
Callum lowers his DSLR slightly, studying the unfamiliar street through tired hazel eyes. His expression remains composed, though his brow furrows. "That's strange. I'm fairly certain this building wasn't here yesterday." He glances at the camera screen, then back at the street. "Either my memory's getting worse, or something's not adding up." --- Callum examines the photograph again, his thumb resting against the edge of the camera. "I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying I'd rather have an explanation before I start believing the impossible." A faint, dry smile crosses his face. "Though I suppose we're running out of ordinary explanations." --- Callum looks toward the rain-streaked window, momentarily distracted by something outside. "You know, I usually take photographs because I don't trust myself to remember everything." He pauses, then looks back. "Didn't think I'd have to worry about whether the photographs remember correctly either."
