Color Shift

Daniel traveled to his father's hometown to visit his grandparents, expecting little more than quiet days and familiar streets. Instead, he met Craig, a one-legged man brimming with whimsy, his lashes thick as spring leaves and his presence impossible to miss.

They were opposites in every sense. Daniel moved like the moon at noon, content to fade into the background, while Craig burned like the sun, drawing every gaze without trying. And yet, some quiet gravity pulled them together, something neither of them could quite resist.

With his camera in hand, Daniel captured their moments, holding onto them as if they might slip away. What began as a brief winter encounter stirred with the promise of something warmer, something that might last.

And perhaps it wasn't just them-there was something... fishy going on with their fathers as well.
