There was no explanation of where the camera came from. No note, no manufacturer, no I.D. numbers, nothing. The camera wasn't even particularly interesting or fancy to look at. It was just a camera, but then it wasn't. It had a much more sinister power to it. It could take over a person's mind. Anyone that got their picture taken by the camera, belonged to the person holding the camera for as long as they stayed close.
It robbed a person of free will, and of memory. In the right hands, a device like this could end war, do all kinds of good. The capability of removing a tyrant from power or even more was outstanding.
But the camera wasn't in the right hands.

Right now the hold of the camera was a 22-year-old college student named Jake Foster. A child of an abusive home, where both parents were either shit-faced drunk or on drugs. A home where Jake was beaten for no reason at all. A home where Jake barely got fed, and when he did it was by a neighbor or a school official who provided him an extra lunch portion to take home.
You might ask how Jake wasn't taken away by Foster Care, and you'd be right. Foster Care did take him away, but not until far too late. Jake was fifteen by the time he was removed and put into a better home. The damage was already done, in his mind, and to his social skills.
Jake managed to graduate barely, becoming an recluse of the sorts. He barely spoke to people, including his Foster parents who where nice enough, but couldn't break Jake away from his mental hole. He preferred to play games on the computer or Nintendo or whatever then try to talk with people.
He had a foster sister named Nicole who had blossomed into a beautiful cheerleading captain, and did her best to try and develop a relationship with her brother. Yet her attempts feel upon deaf ears and Jake would have none of it.
Now Jake was in college, and somehow ended up with a camera on his dorm room bed when he came in from class one day. Under the camera was a simple note:
1. Take a picture of her.
2. Make her do your bidding.
3. Remain close.
4. Repeat as desired.
Jake didn't understand the ominous meaning in the note. But he liked gadgets, and electronics, so he took the camera out to see what he might be able to get a picture of.
Nothing unusual happened as he took pictures of the birds by the football field or the bleachers. He eyed the cheerleading squad with hungry eyes though. Perhaps he could take a photo of them, and use it for his own purposes back in his room.
Practice was over and the girls where starting to scatter by the time he was close enough to take a picture they had all left except one. Tiffany Butters, captain and all around blonde beauty. Being the captain of the squad she had remained around to clean up the pom poms and boombox.
It left her alone for Jake to take a picture of her. Yet just sneaking a picture of her doing mundane trash pick up, would do nothing for him later. He needed her to do a pose or something.
Suddenly an idea struck him. "Tiffany!" He called, running up with the camera. "Tiffany, hi...umm...I'm Jake...I'm the new school paper photographer, I was wondering if I could get a shot of the cheer captain for an article in next weeks issue." He said, holding up the camera. "Would you mind posing?" He asked.
