The Camera Interviews the Person Behind It

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

The camera turned around during Kit's report.

'I'd like to ask you something,' it said.

Kit lowered the spoon microphone.

'Why do you always crouch beside objects that can't answer?'

'It makes the report look active.'

'Your knees look tired.'

Kit sat down. The camera asked about her favorite assignment. She described watching afternoon light turn a plain wall gold. No interview, no headline, just a beautiful minute.

'Why didn't we broadcast that?'

'I thought we needed a story.'

They filmed the wall the next afternoon. Roo introduced it with one sentence, then stayed quiet.

Viewers watched the light move.

The camera received several compliments for its restraint. It celebrated by zooming dramatically into a biscuit, then apologized and returned to the wall.
