Synopsis

Greg thinks there is something wrong with the old camera he found. The photos keep turning out… different.

When Greg takes a picture of his father's brand-new car, it's wrecked in the photo. And then his dad crashes the car.

It's like the camera can tell the future--or worse. Maybe it makes the future!

Quote(s)

1.    He didn’t like being the sensible one of the group. Everyone always made fun of the sensible one. He’d rather be the wild and crazy one. But somehow he always ended up sensible.

2.    What’s the truth about the camera? He wondered.

Does the camera show the future?

Or does it actually cause bad things to happen?

 

BOOK JOURNEY

Thoughts

(2)

I think when people snap pictures using the camera, the camera will cause bad things to happen to them in the future.

It actually gives me a goosebump. LOL! Especially when it involves dark realms that is so mystical.
