The Viral Mystery
The Couple started mulling over the incident in a state of wonder and acceptance in the following weeks. They said that after all life gives one some of those moments, some which cannot be explained logically. The photograph, which had been a subject of anxiety initially, gradually came to represent life’s mysteries. Though it was haunting, yet it reminded them of the bond they shared as they were both plunging into the darkness unaided. The incident only deepened their bonding as they came to understand the unintentional unpredictability of their travels.
Curiosity didn’t dissipate. Internet chatter also provided added impetus: they had published the picture on a discussion forum, and sought opinions of people unknown. Comments flooded in, some reasonable, others on quite fantasies. Some said it could be associated with parallel dimensions or time anomalies, while others say it was merely a person or object distorted by perspective. The diverse varieties of interpretations added further layers to the enigma, turning the photograph into a viral topic of debate.
The story was widely distributed, attracting attention from journalists and bloggers who wanted to write about the photograph. Of course, the couple appreciated the interest but did not reveal more of their private lives than necessary. They gave in and shared a little interview or two but explained that, on this occasion, it was not about publicity, but about sharing their experience. The publicity was validation enough since many others shared similar stories of unexplained captures in photographs.
