Whatever came before, wandering loose, searching for any sort of work, she ended up in my photo studio. It was sad, almost heartbreaking, given the spark in her eye and her obvious attributes. I don't know what came before. I didn't ask, I didn't press. I just embraced my fortune. I fed and bathed her, then taught her to clean my camera. After some practice, she was able to open up my aperture to perfection. I think I might make her a partner soon.
