Percy Stanton leaned on one hand with his head resting on it, while the other played aimlessly with the mobile phone in his palm. His mind started to pull together images in rapid succession, his fingers sliding across the screen in rhythm with his emotions. After a while, Percy lowered his gaze and saw a picture which had been on his phone for a very long time.
It was a group photo he had taken at a fountain in Town Square, Ravenwood City, of Isabel Smith and Raymond Thompson.
If the two photos he'd seen just then were separate, he'd need to rely on short-term memory to distinguish the similarities between the two people in the photos. However, now, he could directly compare them in just one snapshot.
