Kaleidoscope's solitary figure stands at the edge of the calm waters of Glas Lake that shimmer under the simulated sun that hangs low in the sky splashed with hues of red and orange. Two fluffy white clouds drift lazily by.

With a skilled flick of her wrist, Kaleidoscope casts her fishing line, then stands perfectly still – her best imitation of a statue on the shore. A soft artificial breeze ruffles the hem of her dress and teases her inky black bangs.

The fishing line tugs. Shoulders squared, Kaleidoscope grips the rod with two hands and tugs. The surface of the lake ripples. A large trout splashes and flails against the line hooked through its cheek. With an almighty tug, Kaleidoscope secures her catch.

Deftly freeing the wriggling fish, Kaleidoscope stows her catch in her satchel. She baits the hook and casts the line as the sun slowly sinks behind the mountains.
