Taking the Shot

The hunter is inside between the lens and its mirror where Zen masters prowl with high powered lights. The prey is sensed before it takes shape, otherwise you catch nothing. You are in the zone, mind locked on a digital trigger. Sometimes the whole world stampedes across your path, more often, a small curlicue of significance will trip a sensory wire, crosshairs will meet, then for an instant you disappear, as you take the shot.
