a narrative fragment,
a very short story,
a performance and exercise in the prosaic as mythologized through memory.

on the young psyche of the character in the film.
the pressing of light on photosensitive chemicals.
minerals i’ve exposed.
light struck is a phrase i like to think about. the bearable violence.
