Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge [Darleen Click]

The Inspiration:

100wordcamera

A story:

It’s a tiny, dead-end space within the warren of the packed-to-the-rafters antique store. Steve proudly holds out a box, a faded-pink camera within.

“A Polaroid!”

Kristy sniffs, “And film?”

Grinning, he produces a cartridge, loads it.

The camera suddenly whirs to life, spits out a dozen pictures and dies.

The first image startles Kristy, “That’s us when we first walked in!”

“This one’s me, by the vintage clothes … You screwing around … That broken mirror…”

Steve frowns, “What’s that?”

Kristy squints, “Looks cloudy. It gets bigger in each image.”

They look up, eyes widening as one last picture finally ejects.

Now, your turn.

    […] Like Darleen, I wanted to go a little supernatural with this one. By the way, you can still get a Polaroid 600. Just saying. Enjoy! Music: “Take A Picture” by Filter Book: “A Triumph of Genius: Edwin Land, Polaroid, And The Kodak Patent War” by Ronald K. Fierstein […]

    I know it has nothing directly to do with the story, but all your old Polaroid cameras are not useless, some fine folks in Europe bought the last factory in Holland and are making the film again as the aptly named Impossible Project.

    It has been out for a few years and is steadily getting better, one of the neat things is that they also have black and white film for the SX-70 and Spectra models.

    For those of you with earlier folding Polaroids that take the Type 100 pack film, Fuji still makes a really nice color film for them.
