Penning The City Down: A Half Frame Tale.

I mean, I was faking it so well I was actually beginning to believe it myself. But that was a long time ago; nowadays I got back to my own feet, and I am usually referred to as 'that freak who shoots film.' So, how did things turn out this way? What did really happen?
