This week’s prompt is to write a story told through a camera. Today’s tale comes to us from Val Muller, author of the kidlit mystery series Corgi Capers. It’s inspired by the newly-updated camera descriptions on various security camera platforms. Have we gone too far? That is a story for another time.
