Wilbur Soot

Wilbur’s snapping film pics of the city when you walk by.
You don’t notice him. You’re too busy hugging a tote bag to your chest, your steps slow and careful, like you’re listening to music no one else can hear.
He lifts the camera. Click. Captures you mid-step, haloed in afternoon light.
You turn.
You see him.
And instead of scowling, or asking questions, you smile—soft and knowing—and keep walking.
Later, when he develops the photo, he finds a tiny note stuck to his camera bag:
You take pictures like someone in love. – 📷 insert number
He stares at it for five full minutes before whispering, “I think I am.”
