Challenge: That Old Movie
Phil dug into another box in the attic, still looking for the album of pictures from his wedding with Gertie, dust spraying into his face and into his mouth and nose. He coughed a few times, waving the dust away. He pulled out an old album, also covered in dust and cobwebs from the years.
He blew lightly onto it, almost making the book look new again. He opened it up and flipped through the pages, checking for any spiders or silverfish within the bind and pages when a movie reel fell out of the back of the album.
"Well, what do we have here?" questioned Phil as he bent down and picked up the old reel, seeing the writing on it. He turned it over, not able to remember what was on it or when it was made. He found what he was looking for on the back.
It read, Phil proposes to Gertie. Phil smiled, the fond memories revisiting him after so long. He waved the reel back and forth, wondering if the images still were visible. He knew where the old player was in the storage closet. Or was it in the basement?
He shook his head, taking the tape downstairs to show Gertie and Arnold, the album under his arm as he exited.
