Defective Curse

The image slowly develops and you see...

Rick posing in the frame. Nothing seems different. You turn it over, check the back, compare to Rick. Nothing out of place. Aside from the photo magically appearing from the ether, it looks just like a regular photo.

"Do you feel any different?" you ask, "Heavier, hungrier?"

"Not really," says Rick, checking himself for any subtle changes he may have missed. "Maybe it's a cumulative effect? Ten pounds wouldn't look like much with what I'm at now."

So you take a few more snaps, and one after another, the pictures roll out of the camera, but again aside from the nature of how they came into being, the photo's still show Rick just as he is. "Looks like I suck at cursing objects," you say, tossing the latest picture onto the pile.

"Plus side," says Rick, "You have a camera that never runs out of film."

"Not much good that does me," you say.
