Picture This - the 2007 Chain Gang story

Close-up of digital camera

Picture This is a 13 part story, written by Doctor Who writer Robert Shearman and Radio 7's listeners.

Deena receives a digital camera from her boyfriend, Gary. But it's a camera with a difference, a camera that seems to tell the future - and a chilling future it is too.

For three months Radio 7 listeners created a story, week by week. You can catch up with this story here.

Episode 8, by Jennifer Moore

Gary grinned his assent. It didn't look like he needed much persuading.

Susan handed back the camera with a strange smile. "I hope it's OK," she said. "It seems to have flipped back to some old Halloween pictures. I never was much cop with cameras I'm afraid."

Deena shuddered, remembering the wall of photos she'd discovered at Susan's flat - hundreds and hundreds of Deenas staring down at her, all traces of Gary carefully airbrushed out.

"Let me see," said Gary. "It's brand new - we didn't even have it at Halloween."

"Perhaps someone returned it and the shop didn't wipe the memory clean before they resold it?" suggested Susan.

Gary pulled the last photo up onto the screen and his face drained of colour.

"What kind of sick...?

He passed the camera to Deena. A pristine marble headstone filled the screen. 'Gary Robert Keeton', it read. And a date. Tomorrow's date.

"How are you doing this?" Deena asked Susan, struggling to keep her voice steady. "Why can't you just leave us alone?"

"Don't start on Anne," said Gary. "It's got nothing to do with her. Whatever twisted game this is you're playing, Deena, it stops now."
