Right, I’m weak, I admit that. But, I saw my camera lying there, on my bed, its silvery casing reflecting the weak winters’ sunlight into my good eye. I tried to hold back I tried to resist temptation. I picked up two AA batteries. My palms were sweaty, my fingers trembling, as I fumbled to get them inside the camera’s appropriate compartment.

I slowly removed the memory card out of the reader, standing quietly on my desk. Its inky blueness echoing the feelings of my soul, its golden contacts staring at me with satanic menace.

A bead of sweat formed upon my brow as I slid the card into the slot. The card clicked into place, the evil contacts were now nowhere to be seen, hidden within the camera’s deep underbelly..

I gulped. My throat had become dry with terror and anticipation. I knew there was no going back. The battery compartment closed with an unnerving creak The sooner I got this over with, the sooner humanity would be a stronger race for the images I was about to provide. I bit my bottom lip and held down the power button. “ACER CORPORTAION” fluttered across the camera screen. My chest became tight, breathing became difficult. I now knew that it would simply be a matter of seconds, and it would all be over. I aimed the camera out of the window, with my index finger poised, quivering over the shutter button. The pain in my chest was too much to bear. I pressed it in, only halfway. My eyes, transfixed on the LCD screen built in the camera, watched in awe, as the picture instantly became sharper and clearer. My heart rate slowly rose to the level similar to an aroused cat.

It was clear to me that, with another slight press with my finger, my life, and the lives of those around me would be changed forever. The feeling was overwhelming Tears ran down my cheek, as I forced my finger to make the final move. It felt like I was pressing pure iron through the earths’ core.

Then, all of a sudden… “CLICK”. The camera shutter made the noise which could only signify a history changing moment. The camera screen went black. It was all over. My breathing returned to normal, my heart rate lowered to an acceptable level for a cat, and I was aware that a moment in history had been captured for the entire world to see…

Now, I hope you realise just exactly what I go through every time I post a picture onto this fucking blog.
