The flash and the city

In a dimly lit bedroom, a young woman posed for a selfie, the harsh flash from her phone illuminating her face while casting sharp shadows behind her. The walls were covered in posters from the 90s, their colors bleeding onto the scene, creating a vibrant yet eerie atmosphere. Outside, the city buzzed with life, but inside, the air was thick with tension as she prepared for what lay next. The flash went off again, capturing her smile despite the stark lighting that exaggerated every feature of her face. The background remained sharp, revealing nothing of the chaos outside.
