Fake

Tierra de Fuego

The photo was on the table, silent. Undeniable proof.
Nah, it's fake, someone said.
And yet, it was there, a loud accusation to all those denying it.
No one touched the photo, but everyone looked at it.
They knew it had been taken there, in that sunny apartment, but where exactly?
It's clean. Nothing. No blood, no footprints, no fingerprints. Leave.
Nothing they could do. And they left.
Years later, breaking down a wall, there she was. There she was... 5 years old and definitely not a fake.
The photo got lost in a mysterious flood in the archive room.
