Photo

 Returning home from school, the girl found a stack of polaroids lying in the gutter. Out of curiosity, she picked them up and began to look through the pictures on the go. The first photo showed a silhouette of a man standing in the distance against some kind of uniform gray background, so that it was impossible to even distinguish his features.

The girl pushed the photo down the stack and began to study the next one. It showed the same man, but standing a little closer.

The girl quickly flipped through several photos. In each subsequent picture, the man was standing a little closer, and his appearance was becoming clearer.

By the tenth photo, the expression on the man's face began to appear — he was clearly insane, and his face was distorted in a terrible grimace. His mouth was open, and fangs like those of an animal could be seen in it. This scared the girl, but she continued to look through the photos.

By the nineteenth photo, the man was already standing so close to the lens that his face obscured the entire frame. Walking up the driveway, the girl looked at the last photo.

Instead of an image, there was only the inscription: "Now it's close enough."

Hearing the scream from outside, the girl's brother rushed to the front door. But there he found only a stack of photographs on the steps. It looked like his sister was in the picture, but she was too far away from the lens for him to be sure.
