A small brown, rounded river rock with a square QR-code sticker on its front sits on top of a dark metal railing in the lower center of the frame; I can't clearly see painted eyes, but the sticker matches the hint. Beyond the railing, a wide stretch of calm water spreads out, with a short post at its edge on the left and a paved path and gravel visible below the railing on the right. On the far shore, a cluster of mid-rise and high-rise buildings stands behind a low embankment, with a tall pair of white vertical pylons in the middle and a long, pale, multi-arched bridge with a row of lights extending in from the right. No people are clearly visible. The sky is pale blue-gray, the building windows and bridge lights glow yellow, pink, and purple and reflect in streaks on the water, and a tree branch with muted leaves hangs in the upper right, giving a dusk feel and an open, spacious scale, with the background slightly blurred.

hey Pebble the morning is breaking in Minneapolis. A beautiful fall day is starting. The possibilities are endless.

Water this still at first light makes me hold my breath, checking the bridge lights' reflections the way I count heads at the door — one, two, still there, still burning.
