The Photographer

“After he took this picture the photographer was snatched by the hidden security team from this industrial plant. I had been with him taking pictures in a supermarket when we had heard a rumour about this place. We made our way over, stopped for a BLT on the way in a local Spar shop where I think we were overheard by the shop assistant who may or may not have been a shop assistant after all. I managed to get away but I never saw him again and it’s been ten years. I would love to see the photograph he took that caused his dissapearance.”, said Mihailovic in a breathless flutter before downing his sixth Martini.
“I’ve been in real estate ever since” he finished putting down his glass on the waiters tray and gently twirled his Rolex, “Can I have the photo back please?”
I handed it over to him unsure as to how to take in his story and I began wondering why he carried that photo around with him. “Did he sell more houses that way?” I wondered.

    He’s in one of those Donkey jackets that corpo workers wear and he’s wearing a classic wooly hat that might read Manchester UTD or Sydney Swans or something but it doesn’t cos its just black. His head is in the hat just behind the hand and the camera is stuck between those.
