As her tan, soft hands grip the cold, metal bar. Her long brown hair, tied up in a pony-tail sways back and forth and she stretches. As she gets ready for her preformance, at the most popular spot in town “the cafe”, she puts glitter on herself so she shines in the light. The crowd is screaming and her big heart races. Shes as beautiful as the sunset on the beach. Everyone though so too. Many people took her picture, but when she looked at one of them, she saw something. Not an ordanary thing. Something that couldnt happen in reality. But it wasn’t with all pictures. Just from this one camera.
