★ Taxi ---> E q u a l 10

A couple of months ago I played around with Nikon's macro flash system R1C1. These are some of my findings.

 

To summarize, here are some pros and cons:

 

+ The SB-R200 units are extremely accurate and has much better individual precision in the output compared to all other iTTL units I've tried (SB-400, SB-600,SB-800 ).

+ It's easy to set the "contribution ratio" between the flash units with impressive precision.

+ Both flash- and control units are lightweight and reasonably small

 

- The supplied mounting system is a major disappointment. Flimsy and obtrusive.

- No readily available alternative mounting system – why no hotshoe-compatible mount or 1/4" thread on the SB-R200 units? Stupid!

- CR123A batteries. No batteries or chargers included. You can find rechargeable CR123A batteries but the manual says nothing about compatibility with these and the ones Nikon suggests you use are disposable and environmentally UNFRIENDLY Lithium batteries.

 

_________________________

 

The SB-R1C1 consists of two SB-R200 wireless flash units, one SU-800 control unit and a bunch of accessories. There is another similar kit called SB-R1 without the control unit. Cameras with built in wireless flash support doesn't need the control unit but can use the built in flash to control the wireless units instead. However the SU-800 offers a nice interface that is considerably quicker to work with than having to dig into the camera menus (at least on my Fujifilm S5pro body).

 

Precision and Metering

The fact that you can fire a SB-R200 straight into the lens at short distance and get a decently exposed view of the flash bulb should tell you something about the low output precision of these units. For macro work it is a great feature to be able to position the flash(es) a couple of centimeters from the subject and still get proper exposures.

 

The metering with the SB-R200 units also seem "smarter" than with other units since it doesn't make the strange assumptions in the way other iTTL-units I've experience with do. For instance – if you use SB-400 with Sigma 150mm it works fine in its original working range. However if you add a diopter – I like to use Raynox DCR-150 with this lens, the metering goes haywire. I suspect this is because the flash/camera uses the focus distance information provided by the lens to make presumptions about the exposure rather than using the actual TTL-information alone. At least this would explain why it overexposes about three stops if you shoot with the lens focused at infinity (which with the DCR-150 means a working distance of about 30cm). Another reason I suspect it is the focus distance info provided by the lens that fools the metering is that things work great with manual lenses (these do not provide this data). Anyway – you get nothing of this kind with the SB-R200 units – they expose perfectly whatever strange contraption the macro photographer has put on his/her camera.

 

I was also impressed by how intelligent the CLS system actually is. For instance – if you set the ratio between the units to 2:1 it does not merely set the output to 2:1 – instead it sets the output so that the units contribute to the exposure by this ratio, which of course is way more useful! To do this it has to meter for each unit (or to be more precise: each group) separately and hence you'll get two pre-flashes before the actual exposure (which is simultaneous).

 

Mounting system

SB-R1 and SB-R1C1 comes with a ring-shaped plastic adapter that attaches via an another adapter to the filter thread of the lens. It comes with several adapters for different thread sizes and these are the only parts of this system that are not made of plastic. The plastic ring adapter attaches to the knurled edge of the metal adapter with four small, plastic springloaded "pegs" that protrudes inwards. It shouldn't take long to wear these plastic pegs down to "unusableness" against the knurled metal, and it certainly doesnt feel very secure. The flash units fits into the ring anywhere around its perimeter. Once attached to the ring you can easily slide the units around the ring by pushing a couple of springloaded buttons at the base of the flash mount. Unfortunately the fit between the flash units and the ring is not tight and when you move the setup around they wobble in their mounts making the setup feel quite vulnerable. One can only hope that it feels worse than it is and you'll probably get used to this after a while. In any case it's very hard to believe you need to pay $1000 for something this flimsy!

 

Besides being flimsy it's very far from low profile. The ring adds a lot of girth to the end of the lens that makes it impossible to get nice low angles close to the ground at high magnifications. Also – the front end of my lenses takes a fair bit abuse when I'm out shooting. I push it against the ground, drag it along rock surfaces trying to pan along with fast critters and so on. The clumsy plastic adapter wouldn't last long and I didn't even want to give it a try since I'd only borrowed my copy of the SB-R1C1. So I concluded that it was more or less unusable for me in its intended form, mounted on the lens.

 

Still I liked the performance of the SB-R200 units and wanted to give them a try in the field. At first I thought I'd just mount one of the units on my Manfrotto hydrostatic arm (that I use with my other flashes) and just hold the other one in my hand or mount it on a gorilla-pod. Nikon made the mistake of leaving out any other mount than the special one that fits in the plastic ring. I don't think a small plastic hotshoe or 1/4" filter thread would have been too much to ask! Fortunately the white plastic "stand" that comes with these units has a 1/4" thread so these can be used to mount the units to a tripod threaded device like the Manfrotto arm. You have to live with a fair bit of wobble though since the SB-R200 fits as loosely in the stand as in the ring. I know I'm probably overly sensitive to these things but it really bugs me when it feels like something will snap right off if it takes a minor blow! I've really come to expect more from Nikon – if anything their equipment often stand out as more well made than the competition.

 

I ended up mounting the flashes as shown in the above picture – the white plastic stand has small indentations that the plastic spring loaded pegs fit into. So I connected these and threaded it onto the Manfrotto arm. I think this way of mounting it gives much better flexibility when it comes to creative positioning of the light sources than if you mount it straight onto the lens.

 

So this was what I brought with me into the field. The differently colored flashing LEDs and slightly unusual Mickey Mouse look of the rig probably caused passers by to wonder if I was playing with some fancy toy (which of course was pretty accurate).

 

Final notes

I played around with it for a couple of hours before the disposable batteries were drained (to be fair they probably weren't fresh when I got them). It worked allright and surprisingly I managed to not break a single plastic mounting point. It's a mixed bag of experiences for sure. The metering is impressive and I like the performance of the SB-R200 units and the SU-800 interface. But the cheap feel of the mounting system and the lack of a descent alternative is such a big minus for this kind of product that my net impression isn't very favorable.

 

I still prefer to use my usual setup with a single wired SB-400 working in iTTL mode or a SB-24 in manual mode (fired as slave or by non-ttl wire) + DIY diffuser. If I had the SB-R1C1 I would make some serious modifications to the SB-R200 mounts and give the ring adapter to my two year old. I do not think it is worth paying the high price for this partially excellent but partially dreadful system.

 

See below for some test shots. All were made using the plastic diffusers that comes with the kit. These diffusers work OK but they fell off more than once and each time I was sure the tiny plastic hinges keeping them in place had broken off. They were allright but I could see clearly see some wear to the flimsy parts at the end of my session.

KW Praktina IIA with T 2.8/50 Jena (Tessar)

Interchangeable prism viewfinder with exposure meter

 

Legendary, very advanced camera from the 1950ties, often called the first "system camera", and that's certainly true. The camera is like an open system, you can change lenses, viewers, viewerscreens, you can mount motor drives for the film advance, long film magazines and loupes for the prism finders. And the prototype, just called "Praktina", was introduced at the Photokina in Cologne already in 1952! Serial production started in 1953 with the Praktina FX, in 1958 it was replaced by the Praktina IIA, which was even more advanced.

 

It is hard to describe all the progress, that camera brought. For example, you have a shutter speed dial for fast and slow shutter speeds combined, you can turn it in any direction without stop, with the shutter tensioned or not. The shutter speeds are equidistant on the dial, and when the shutter runs, there are no rotating parts outside the camera - sensational.

 

So I picked out two technical highlights:

Since 1954 the camera was equipped with an automatic aperture. It worked like the one on the Contax SLR with M42 mount: the aperture is open for viewing, but when the shutter button is pressed, the camera pushes a pin into the lens and the diaphragm will close to the value selected on the f-stop ring. With the introduction of the Praktina IIA there was change: the new camera pressed the pin permanently into the lens to keep the diaphragm open for viewing. When the shutter button was pressed, the camera *releases* the pin, the aperture was closed by a spring force in the lens. This concept was used at first in the medium format camera "Praktisix" (later Pentacon Six), and since both cameras Praktisix and Praktina were developed very close to each other, the Praktina was the first 35 mm SLR with that design. Nearly every great manufacturer of 35 mm SLR used it, until Canon introduced the EF mount and the the diaphragm was operated electronically.

Perhaps you've noticed, that I'm presenting the IIA with an unmounted lens, and furthermore, that there are some springs and levers too much in the mirror box. The reason for that device is to keep compatibility with the - let me call them - FX-lenses. IIA-lenses are mounted commonly with the indexes on top, using the kerf on top of the camera mount (under the "IIA"). FX-lenses are mounted turned, they must use the kerf beside the self-timer. About 3,000 to 4,000 IIA-cameras were modified that way by the manufacturer itself.

 

The second highlight is the shutter introduced with the IIA. When thinking of the movement of a horizontally traveling shutter with curtains made of cloth, you certainly imagine a slot with a constant width traveling in front of the film (at fast shutter speeds). That's not the entire truth: the curtains are moving accelerated, so the first curtain is *earlier faster*. As a result the width of the slot increases during the exposure. Now you might expect an uneven exposure along the frame, but the effect can compensate itself. A slowly traveling narrow slot can produce the same outcome like a fast traveling broad one, but an exact compensation was certainly random. I don't know if early camera designers knew about that effect, but after WWII there were new technical instruments you could examine it very precisely. So, the designer of the Praktina, Siegfried Böhm, was the first one who could control that effect, the increasing width of the slot was exactly compensated by the speed of the shutter curtains. He used rolls for the curtains with a specified diameter, thus the shutter movement was also less dependent from the spring force of that rolls.

 

Unfortunately the production of the Praktina was ceased in 1960, it was a directive of "decision makers". A pretext could have been, that two lens mounts were sufficient (M42 and Exakta), and it was too expensive to produce lenses in three versions.

B♭ (B-Flat)

Further excerpt released. Just a rough draft from the beginning. Like a note. Please read if you'd like. :)

Setting: New York City.

 

Red, Yellow, Blue——

It was just past 7 p.m. when a light drizzle began to fall on East 52nd Street.

Anaya Patel leaned against the wall of the building next to Tot Ramen, where she was supposed to meet someone, and absently stared at the traffic light at the intersection to her right.

It was already July, yet the summer felt cooler than last year’s. She regretted stepping out in just a T-shirt.

When the light turned green, Anaya squinted, narrowing her gaze.

Kana, her old classmate, was waving and smiling as she ran toward her——

 

The flat ceiling of Madison Square Garden seemed to bulge slightly with the heat of the crowd, or so it appeared to Jack.

Cheers welcoming the presidential candidate clashed with shouts of outrage, rattling deep inside his ears.

Jack scanned the arena quickly before glancing back down at his iPhone. Several social media apps were open at once, and furious posts streamed across the screen.

One post in the bottom right corner—on Meta—caught his eye.

A death threat.

Presidential candidate Justin Bradford was about to take the stage with his fiancée, Eleanor Blake.

As a red spotlight—the color of the Republican Party—lit up the center of the stage, the couple stepped out.

And at that exact moment, a gunshot rang out.

It was subtle enough to be missed at first—but Jack heard it. Two shots.

As chaos erupted around him, Jack quietly closed his eyes, picturing the trajectory.

The first bullet—likely from his right, near the PA system. But that area should have been covered by agents from his own unit.

He calculated the second shot. It probably came from the left side of the stage.

It was aimed with precision, taking into account the positioning of both Justin and Eleanor.

There might have been a leak.

Then came a second report.

His colleague Ben Holloway’s voice, calm as ever.

The heart was missed, but both bullets had hit. One had grazed it and lodged in the epigastric area, just under the diaphragm.

Jack replied, equally calm.

“Justin’s Bombay blood. I confirmed it three days ago with Bellevue Hospital. They have reserves stored.”

Ben responded in a low voice, as if nothing had happened.

“Understood.”

 

Justin was rushed to Bellevue, the closest hospital to Madison Square Garden.

Jack called Elijah Kane directly from his smartphone.

Using WhatsApp or any other messaging app was strictly forbidden in the Secret Service.

Elijah answered before the first ring ended.

“Jack, it’s bad. We don’t have it. No Bombay blood.”

Jack was stunned.

“I confirmed it three days ago. I spoke directly to the person in charge—can't recall their name—but I saw the blood bags myself.”

After a pause, Elijah replied.

“That person died in a car accident yesterday.”

 

Anaya Patel waited for her husband Arjun at Tot Ramen.

With her was Mika (Sato), her best friend since college—Japanese.

Just as the server placed a steaming bowl of ramen in front of her, Anaya’s phone rang.

The caller ID said Bellevue Hospital.

She answered without hesitation.

Mika looked on, concerned.

“Is this Anaya Patel? I’m Sasha Wilson from Emergency.

You may have heard—Republican presidential candidate has been shot.

We need your blood.

Stay where you are. A Secret Service vehicle is en route.”

Following Mika’s gaze, Anaya turned to the display above the counter.

A live report from MSG was playing.

Then, a man in a sleek blue suit with brown skin approached her.

“I’m Rohan Shah, Secret Service.

Please come with me to the hospital.

The car is ready.”

He reached for her hand with urgency.

Just then, Anaya’s iPhone buzzed again. An unfamiliar number.

She tapped it.

“Hello?”

“Anaya Patel?”

“Yes. Who is this?”

“Jack. Jack Vance. Secret Service. I’ll be there shortly.”

“How do you know where I am?”

“We’re professionals. We have our ways.”

“But the Secret Service guy is already here.”

“No—he’s not!” Jack’s voice roared through the phone.

At that instant, the man in front of her pulled a rifle from under his jacket and aimed it at her forehead.

A small gunshot rang through the restaurant.

Anaya froze.

She couldn’t speak.

As the man collapsed to the floor, another figure emerged—also pointing a gun at her.

It was her husband, Arjun.

“Freeze! FBI!”

NYPD officers in uniform and FBI agents in gray suits stormed in.

“Hands behind your head! Get down on the floor!”

The cliché movie-like commands rang out as Anaya trembled. Mika, too.

But probably no one shook more than Arjun.

Jack arrived moments later.

“Anaya Patel!”

Still trembling, Anaya answered without looking up.

“That’s me.”

Jack, drenched in sweat, pulled her upright.

“We’re going to the hospital.”

 

A message from Elijah arrived with a link.

Jack, now in the passenger seat with Anaya, tossed her his iPhone.

“Open it!”

She tapped it—it appeared to be a livestream.

“Good evening, New York. And Los Angeles.

My name is Zakaria Haddad.

That’s my real name.

A few years ago, I lived in Gaza.

Now I’m in a room that mimics one you know very well.”

A man with brown skin and a beard sat in what looked almost exactly like the Oval Office.

He looked at his watch, then back at the camera.

“It’s time for breaking news.

Keep your eyes on your phones.”

Just then, an alert popped up:

BREAKING: Former Democratic President Owen Reed reportedly shot at the Los Angeles Convention Center

Zakaria bowed his head slightly and chuckled.

“A sad headline, isn’t it?

But don’t be sad, America.

In Gaza, we endured 55,000 times worse.

We lost more than 55,000 loved ones.

We wept—endlessly.”

Still looking down, he clenched his fists and slammed the desk.

When he looked up, tears glistened in his eyes.

“We do not seek money.

Nor honor through death.

All we want—

are tears.

Tears equal to the ones we shed.

Only those tears can heal us.”

Placing both elbows on the desk and clasping his hands, Zakaria gently rested his chin on them. He closed his eyes, and a heavy silence filled the room. The corners of his eyes seemed to tremble ever so slightly. Then, slowly, he began to speak.

 

“I am just one among fifty-five thousand. Even if I disappear, the will of fifty thousand others will remain—unchanging, undying, carried forward. I am here to give voice to that will.”

 

Zakaria opened the desk drawer, took out a Glock 17, and slid the action, chambering a round. He raised the gun to his temple.

A Sunni Muslim, he looked straight into the camera and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

“God bless you. America.”

 

Zakaria closed his eyes and pulled the trigger straight back. A dry crack echoed through the room.

The screen cut to black in an instant.

 

To be continued...

むヌストndストリヌトに小雚が舞いはじめたのは、午埌䞃時過ぎだった。

アナダ・パテルは、埅ち合わせたトットラヌメンのずなりのビルの壁面にもたれ、右手に芋える十字路の信号機をがんやり眺めおいた。もう月だずいうのに、昚幎よりも冷倏に感じ、Tシャツ䞀枚で出かけおきたこずを埌悔しおいた。

十字路の信号が青に倉わるず、アナは目を现め、凝芖した。同玚生のカナがこちらぞ手を振りながら埮笑み、駆け寄っおきおいた——

 

マゞ゜ンスク゚アガヌデンの平坊な倩井は、吐き出された人の熱気でい぀もより膚らんでいるように、ゞャックには芋えた。倧統領候補を歓迎する声ずそれを眵倒する叫び声が錯綜し、錓膜の奥を揺らしおいた。

ゞャックは、軜く堎内の隅々たで目を凝らしおから、再びアむフォンに目を萜ずした。画面には、いく぀かのSNSが同時に広がっおおり、それぞれが激しい曞き蟌みによっお文字が流れおゆく。

右䞋の、メタの曞き蟌みに、ゞャックは目を留めた。殺害予告だ。

倧統領候補のゞャスティン・ブラッドフォヌドは、フィアンセの゚リノア・ブレむクずずもに間も無くステヌゞに立぀。

共和党を瀺す赀い光がステヌゞ䞭倮に差し蟌むず、二人は同時に珟れた。

ず、同時に、銃声が響いた。

䞀聎しただけでは気づかなかったがゞャックの耳は聎き分けた。匟は二発だ。

隒然ずした堎内をよそに、ゞャックは静かに目を閉じた。発射音から着匟たでを想像した。

䞀発目の匟は、ゞャックの右手、たぶん、PA近蟺からだ。しかし、ゞャックず同じ配属のシヌクレットサヌビスが匵り蟌んでいたはずだ。もうひず぀の匟䞞をゞャックは再び目を閉じお蚈算した。

匟は、たぶん、ステヌゞ巊手偎からだ。ゞャスティンず゚リノアの二人の立ち䜍眮を蚈算しおいるようだ。ひょっずしたら情報が挏れおいたかもしれない。

ゞャックの耳に第報が入った。同僚のベン・ホロりェむの冷静な声だ。心臓ははずれたものの、2発の匟䞞が打ち蟌たれおいた。匟は心臓をかすめ、心窩郚、ちょうど暪隔膜の䞋に食い蟌んでいた。

ゞャックも冷静に、ベンぞ䌝えた。

「ゞャスティンはボンベむブラッドだ。䞉日前にベルビュヌ病院に確認した。予備の血液は保管されおいる」

ベンは、䜕事もなかったかのように、わかったず静かにいった。

 

マゞ゜ンスク゚アガヌデンにもっずも近いベルビュヌ病院に、ゞャスティンを運び蟌む。ゞャックは、病院で控えおいるむラむゞャ・ケむンにスマヌトフォンから盎接電話した。シヌクレットサヌビスではもちろんワッツアップなどのSNSはご法床だ。

ワンコヌルが切れる前にすぐむラむゞャは反応した。

「ゞャック、倧倉だ。血液がない。ボンベむブラッドがないんだ」

ゞャックは、耳を疑った。

「䞉日前に、俺は盎接担圓の、名前は忘れたな。ずにかく目の前でブラッドバッグを確認したぞ」

むラむゞャは、数秒の沈黙の埌、応えた。

「その血液の管理者は、きのう、亀通事故で亡くなったんだ」

 

アナダ・パテルは、倫のアルゞュンをトットラヌメンで埅った。

孊生時代からの芪友、ミカ䜐藀日本人も䞀緒だ。

店員が、アナダの目の前にラヌメンを差し出したずき、スマヌトフォンが鳎った。

登録しおあるベルビュヌ病院からだった。

アナダは、躊躇わずに出た。着信を芋たミカは䞍安げにアナダを芋守った。

アナダは、呆然ずしおいるミカの芖線を远っお、背埌を振り返った。カりンタヌのちょうど巊䞊に䞋がったディスプレむには、MSGの珟圚が男性レポヌタヌによっお攟映されおいる。

アナは開いた入り口に目を移した。青い、掗緎されたスヌツをたずった耐色の肌の男性が、足早にアナに寄っおきた。

「シヌクレットサヌビスのロハン・シャヌず蚀いたす。私ず䞀緒に病院ぞ来おください。倖に車を甚意しおありたす」

圌は真剣な県差しでアナぞ䌝え、手を匕こうずした瞬間、アナのアむフォンが再び震えた。番号だけ浮かびあがっおいる。登録されおいないようだ。アナは慌おお、タッチした。

「はい」

「アナダ・パテルさん」

「ええ、あなたは」

「ゞャック。ゞャック・ノァンス。シヌクレットサヌビスです。もうすぐそちらぞ到着したす」

「わたしの堎所をどうやっお」

「わたしたちはプロだ。あらゆる手段を甚意しおいたす」

「もう、シヌクレットサヌビスの人が来おるわ」

ゞャックの、違う ずいう怒声が響いた瞬間、目の前の男性はスヌツの内から小銃を匕き抜き、アナの額に向けた。

店内に小さな銃声が響いた。

アナは、震えるこずすら忘れ、蚀葉を倱い、攟心しおいた。

目の前の男性がゆっくり床ぞ厩れるず、倫のアルゞュンが、やはりアナに銃を向けお珟れた。

「フリヌズFBI 」

数人の制服を着たNYPDずグレむのスヌツを纏ったFBIが叫んだ。

「党員、手を頭の埌ろに回しお床に䌏せろ」

映画のようなお決たりのセリフに、アナは震えおいた。もちろん、ミカも。たぶん、アナの倫のアルゞュンが最も震えおいただろう。

遅れお、ゞャックが店内に向け、叫んだ。

「アナダ・パテル」

アナは、芋䞊げるこずなく、そのたたに応えた。足がただ震えおいる。

「わたしです」

額に汗を浮かべたゞャックは、アナの身を起こすず、いった。

「すぐに病院ぞ行く」

 

病院にいるむラむゞャから、リンク付きのメッセヌゞが届いた。

助手垭に乗り蟌んだアナぞゞャックはアむフォンを攟り投げるず、リンク先を開け、ず叫んだ。

慌おお、アナが觊れるず、どうやら生攟送のようだった。

「こんばんわ、ニュヌペヌク。そしおロサンれルス。私の名前はザカリア・ハッダヌド。本名だ。

数幎前、ガザに䜏んでいた。今は、みなさんがよく目にする郚屋を真䌌た郚屋に私はいる」

耐色の、顎髭をたくわえたザカリアは、アメリカ倧統領執務宀ずほずんど同じ郚屋の怅子に座っおいた。

腕時蚈にゆっくり目を萜ずしおから、再び、カメラに芖線を向けた。

「そろそろブレむキングニュヌスだ。スマヌトフォンの速報に泚目しお欲しい」

ザカリアがそういった途端、速報が流れた。

【民䞻党前倧統領のオヌりェン・リヌドがロサンれルス・コンベンション・センタヌで銃撃された暡様です】

ザカリアは、䞀瞬俯いお笑いを堪えながらいった。

「悲しい速報じゃないか。アメリカのみなさん。でもどうか悲したないで欲しい。私が経隓したガザではこの55,000倍だ。55,000人以䞊の倧切な人を倱い、そしお、涙を流した」

ザカリアは、再び俯いたたた、䞡手を固く握りしめ、力匷く机を叩き぀けた。

顔を䞊げたザカリアの目にはうっすらず涙が溢れおいた。

「私たちは、お金を求めない。たた、死による名誉も求めない。私たちが欲しいのは、55,000人が流した涙ず同じだけの涙だ。流された涙ず同じだけの涙だけが、私たちを癒す」

䞡肘を机に぀き、䞡手を組むず、ザカリアは静かに顎を乗せた。目を閉じお、しばらく沈黙が続いた。目尻が现かく震えおいるようだった。そのたたゆっくり口を開いた。

「55,000人のうちの私はひずりに過ぎない。私が消えおも䞇人もの意思は決しお消えず、匕き継がれる。私は、私たちの意思をここに衚明するためにいる」

ザカリアは、机の匕き出しから、グロックを取り出すず、スラむドしおチャンバヌに匟を流した。そしお、自分のこめかみに向けた。

スンニ掟である圌は、たっすぐにカメラを芋぀め、皮肉混じりにいった。

「神のご加護を。アメリカ」

ザカリアは、目を閉じるず、トリガヌを真っ盎ぐに匕いた。也いた音が郚屋に響いた。映像は、瞬時に黒ぞ切り替わった。

Wide Angle landscape featuring the Ritchmond Bridge and Bay Bridge.

 

I shot this one a couple of months ago, but I've been on a bit of a marathon with photography lately, and this is one of many older shots I just never got around to until now.

 

I shot this one with the D800E, using the Nikon 16-35 VR lens. After using this lens for a while, I can conclude that it really is an amazing lens. Great build quality, 77mm filter compatibility, and an extremely useful zoom range. Although it isn't nearly as sharp as any of my primes, it IS sharp - as evidenced by the detail in the dirt in this shot. For a wide angle junkie, this is the perfect walkabout lens.

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

 

日本語のあらすじ等は䞋の方にありたす😃

 

“Synopsis”

 

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

B♭ will be released worldwide on February 29, 2026.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

  

Stay tuned.

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

English translation by GPT-5, in collaboration with Mitsushiro Nakagawa

  

Twilight sank over the harbor town, dimming the air as the rusted girders along the pier turned a burnished red.

The park in Red Hook was nearly empty; the chains of the swings stirred in the wind, clinking faintly.

Children’s laughter drifted from afar, only deepening the stillness that hung over the place.

Amir stood outside the wire fence, gazing at the scene, and something half-forgotten stirred within him.

There had been evenings, too, in the rubble of Gaza.

Out from the ruins of broken houses, his mother would appear—

breathless, dust clinging to her clothes, coming to find him, to hold him close.

He could still recall the scent of her hair, the warmth of her arms.

“Let’s go home,” she had said.

Even if “home” was nothing more than a collapsing shell of stone and dust, her voice alone had led him back.

A mattress laid atop debris.

A room with no walls, only wind.

Yet each time his mother’s hand brushed his forehead, that place became, undeniably, home.

Amir’s gaze returned to the New York children swaying on the swings.

The innocent rhythm between mothers and sons was repeating itself again, bathed in the soft light of dusk.

It was a world untouched by weapons or blood.

“Rafi,” he murmured, barely louder than the wind,

“maybe
 we don’t have to go on.”

Rafi didn’t look away.

His eyes were clouded with the sediment of Gaza—blood and dust, the memory of ruin.

His father’s body fallen in shadow.

Walls blackened with fire.

Dreams torn apart.

What filled him was not tenderness, but a cold and merciless anger.

“Don’t forget, Amir,” he said, his voice hard as stone.

“In the same place where your mother held you, our fathers were slaughtered.

Those ruins are not just ruins.”

Amir fell silent.

The river’s surface rippled red in the twilight; across the East River, the towers of Manhattan shimmered faintly, blurred at the edges.

Peace and destruction, memory and hatred—

they mingled together in the same wind.

Behind the wire fence, children’s laughter still rang out.

But to the two men, it sounded only like an echo from another world.

 

The setting sun sank quietly, staining the bridge’s iron joints red as the heat beneath it trembled in the air.

Rainwater pooled in the cracks of the concrete, reflecting a thin sheet of gold.

A faint steam rose from the damp air, and the salt from the harbor clung to Amir’s nose.

The boarded door of an abandoned factory hung loose,

the wind pushing in old newspapers and leaves, swirling them into tiny spirals.

From afar came the cry of cicadas, and a city bus exhaled a sigh through its brakes.

Beneath the bridge stood Amir, Rafi, and several others scattered in silence.

Some wiped sweat from their brows, eyes lowered to the ground;

others rested hands upon the girders, gazing out toward the distant light.

At intervals, the shadow of a parent waiting for a child passed by,

a white-roofed van gliding through the heat.

Amir rubbed his back, the sweat clinging to his shirt, and sat down in the shadow of the bridge pier.

Rafi stood a short distance away.

Their shadows stretched long, wavering under the harsh westering sun.

No one among their comrades moved; their stillness was a kind of breathless waiting.

“Can’t we stop here?” Amir’s voice wavered into the humid air.

In his mind, he saw again his mother’s hand reaching through a crack in the stone wall—

that small, dirt-stained hand that once touched his cheek.

The desire to return to that warmth still flickered faintly in his chest, like an ember refusing to die.

Rafi clenched his jaw, and spoke through his teeth, his words as brief and cold as a stone cast into the sea.

“Don’t forget, Amir.

If you forget that night, we’ll betray the dead.”

His voice merged with the creak of metal underfoot, irreconcilable with the laughter of children or the cry of cicadas drifting in the distance.

Amir narrowed his eyes, watching the flow of light beyond the railing.

Across the river, windows shimmered in layers—

places where life went on, where dinners were being served,

where children’s laughter and footsteps would echo softly through the gardens.

A deep shadow cut across Rafi’s face.

His fists were clenched, the veins on his hands taut and bright.

“That wish of yours,” he said quietly,

“do you know it might become someone’s gravestone?”

Amir’s gaze fell to a small white rabbit doll at his feet.

It was caked with dust, one eye missing.

Perhaps it belonged to a child who once played beneath this bridge—

or perhaps it had simply wandered here by chance.

Either way, to Amir, that single missing eye seemed like a fleeting glimpse of a world quietly disappearing.

Silence spread between them.

The wind hummed low through the iron beams.

Around them, the world went on moving.

A van door shut.

A parent touched a child’s shoulder.

A bus turned the corner.

Their comrades drew shallow breaths, eyes fixed on the ground or the far horizon.

Without looking back, Amir began walking toward the city beyond the bridge’s shadow.

Behind him came a single breath from Rafi—

a sound that carried the stillness of a corpse.

The summer dusk slowly swallowed the bridge.

The men beneath it remained as faint silhouettes,

poised between the red of sunset and the cold gleam of steel.

Rafi quietly unzipped his bag and drew out a tablet.

His fingers trembled slightly,

but he took a slow breath to steady himself,

and aimed the camera at the mark of “B♭” at the bottom of mellow-echo.net.

A dark screen flickered to life, revealing a deep-layer QR code.

Without hesitation, his finger slid along the words:

“C4-ID: Vanta+Core / Ready.”

That movement sent a faint tremor through the tension of the men beneath the bridge,

blending with the dry scent of rust and the damp summer air.

From the far side of the East River, under another bridge,

sparks began to rise—one, then another—

tiny flashes glowing red in the dark.

The light quivered across the shadows,

and the sound of metal striking metal echoed low.

Rafi’s eyes followed the fading silhouette of Amir’s back.

The others stepped silently away,

drawing a little farther from the bridge.

Moist air clung to Rafi’s skin,

and the mingled red of dusk and chill of steel filled the space around him.

In the hush beneath the bridge,

each flash and creak formed a strange rhythm in his chest.

A cicada cried once in the distance.

The city’s murmur faded to a far-off haze.

Pressed beneath that wave of tension,

the men held their breath,

confirming each other’s presence only through glances and the rhythm of their breathing.

The summer dusk slowly—yet surely—

swallowed the bridge, the city,

and the shadows that remained.

北朝鮮の仮想通貚システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グルヌプが、アメリカ合衆囜ぞ密かに朜入する。

圌らの目的は、倱われた祖囜ガザを、アメリカの地に「埩元」するこずだった。

共和党による匷硬な移民政策ず、囜内にくすぶる排倖感情を利甚し、アメリカ瀟䌚を内偎から厩壊させる蚈画が静かに進行しおいく。

共和党倧統領候補ゞャスティン・ブラッドフォヌドがマディ゜ン・スク゚ア・ガヌデンで挔説䞭に狙撃され、ほが同時刻、ロサンれルスでは前倧統領オヌりェン・リヌドもたた、民䞻党候補ラむアン・ベネットの集䌚で撃たれる。

囜家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ゞャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

圌の血液型は、䞖界でわずか250䞇人に䞀人ずいわれる「ボンベむブラッド」。

その垌少な血を提䟛できたのは、ブルックリンで掻動するコミュニティアヌト・ファシリテヌタヌ、アナダ・パテルだった。

圌女の血液はベルビュヌ病院の血液バンクに保存されおおり、緊急茞血によっお、候補者の呜はかろうじお繋がれた。

シヌクレットサヌビスのゞャック・バンスは、テロの背埌にガザ出身の組織が関䞎しおいるこずを察知し、FBIロサンれルス支局長官キャメロン・バヌトレット、ニュヌペヌク支局の特別捜査官ノェロニカ・リヌブスず共に捜査を進める。

やがお圌らは、むスラム倧孊で建築孊を孊んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンれルスやニュヌペヌクの再開発珟堎に朜入し、梁や構造䜓の䞭枢にC4爆薬を仕蟌んでいた事実に蟿り着く。

暙的は、ICE移民・関皎執行局やERO執行・送還䜜戊郚門の職員が暮らす新興䜏宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ノェロニカは、これ以䞊の砎壊を防ぐため、倧統領ぞの察話を進蚀するが、珟職のグラント・ランフォヌド倧統領は耳を貞さない。

䞀方、呜を取り留めたゞャスティンず民䞻党候補ラむアンは、テレビを通じお囜民に蚎えかけ、分断を乗り越えようずする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアむオワ州での挔説を匷行し、「テロには屈しない」ず宣蚀する。

その䌚堎には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工䜜チヌムが朜入しおいた。

厩壊する䌚堎の惚状を前に、仲間の䞀人アミヌル・ナッセルは、か぀おガザで効を倱った蚘憶に匕き裂かれ、砎壊の連鎖を止めようずする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

りィリアムズバヌグ橋の䞋、倕暮れの喧隒のなか、二人は決別する。

English translation by GPT-5, in collaboration with Mitsushiro Nakagawa

  

 倕暮れは枯町の空気を沈たせながら、埠頭に錆び぀いた鉄骚を赀銅色に染めおいた。

 レッドフックの公園は人圱もたばらで、遊具の鎖が颚に揺れ、かすかな音を立おおいた。子どもたちの笑い声が遠くにひびき、かえっお静けさを際立たせおいるようだった。

 アミヌルは金網の倖からその光景を芋぀め、胞の奥に忘れかけおいた感芚を呌び戻しおいた。

か぀おガザの瓊瀫の町にも倕暮れはあった。

 砎壊された家々のあいだから、母の姿が珟れた。息を切らし、砂埃をたずいながらも、圌を探しお抱きしめに来る母の匂いを、アミヌルは今も芚えおいた。

 「家に垰ろう」ず母は蚀った。

 家ずは呌べないほど厩れかけた堎所であっおも、その声だけが圌を導いた。瓊瀫の䞊に眮かれた垃団、壁もない郚屋に流れ蟌む颚、それでも母の手が圌の額を撫でるたび、そこは確かに家だった。

 アミヌルの芖線は、ブランコに揺れるニュヌペヌクの子どもたちぞず戻った。母ず子の無邪気な時間が、倕暮れの柔らかな光のなかで繰り返されおいる。

 その光景は、歊噚や血ずは無瞁の䞖界だった。

「ラフィ  俺たちは、もうやめおもいいんじゃないか」

 䜎く呟いた声は、颚に溶けるほど匱かった。

 ラフィは目を逞らさなかった。その瞳には、ガザの砂塵に埋もれた血の蚘憶がよどんでいた。

 倒れ䌏した父の圱、焌け焊げた壁、裂けた倢。圌の胞に満ちおいるのは、優しさではなく、冷たい怒りだった。

「忘れるな、アミヌル」

 声は硬い石のように響いた。

「母の腕に抱かれた蚘憶ず同じ堎所で、父たちは殺されたんだ。あの瓊瀫はただの瓊瀫じゃない」

 アミヌルは唇を閉ざした。

 倕暮れの川面が赀く揺らぎ、むヌストリバヌ越しのマンハッタンの高局ビルの圱がかすかに滲んでいた。

 平和ず砎壊、蚘憶ず憎しみが、同じ颚の䞭で混じり合っおいた。

 金網の内では、子どもの笑い声がただ響いおいた。

 しかし、ふたりの耳にはそれが遠い䞖界の残響にしか思えなかった。

  

///////////////////////////////////

  

 倕陜は鉄の骚の継ぎ目を赀く染めながら、橋の䞋の熱気に揺れ぀぀静かに沈み蟌んだ。

 コンクリヌトの裂け目に溜たった氎が、倕陜を映しお薄い金色に光っおいる。湿った空気にわずかな湯気が立ち、枯から流れる朮の匂いがアミヌルの錻腔に絡んだ。

 廃工堎の戞板は半ば倖れ、颚が叀い新聞玙や枯れ葉を抌し蟌み、小さな枊を぀くっおいた。蝉の声が遠くから響き、路線バスのブレヌキ音が䞀床、吐息のように掩れた。

 橋の䞋には、アミヌルずラフィのほかに、数名の仲間たちが散らばっお立っおいる。肩をすくめ、汗を拭いながら地面に芖線を萜ずす者もいれば、鉄梁に手をかけ、遠くの光景をじっず芋぀める者もいた。

 時折、子どもを埅぀芪の圱ず、癜い屋根の送迎車が通り過ぎる。

 アミヌルは汗で匵り付いたシャツの背䞭をさすり、橋げたの圱に腰を䞋ろした。

 ラフィは少し離れお立った。圱は長く䌞び、照り぀ける西日に揺れおいた。仲間たちは埮動だにせず、息を殺すようにその堎にいる。

「ここでやめられないのか」

 アミヌルの声は、蒞し暑い倕暮れの空気に溶けかけた。脳裏には、母が厩れた石壁の隙間から差し出した小さな手が浮かんでいた。母の手はい぀も、汚れた掌で圌の頬を撫でおくれた。そこに垰りたいずいう欲が、胞の奥でただ埮かに枩かく息をしおいる。

 ラフィは奥歯を噛みしめ、舌先だけで蚀った。簡朔で、海に投げる石のように冷たい。

「忘れるな、アミヌル。あの倜のこずを忘れたら、俺たちは死んだ者たちを裏切る」

 その声は、波打぀鉄板の軋みず混じり、遠くの子どもたちの笑い声や蝉の声ずは盞容れなかった。

 アミヌルは目を现め、橋の欄干越しに流れおゆく光を芋た。向こう岞に、きらめく窓が幟重にも䞊んでいる。そこには暮らしがあり、倕飯の匂いが立ち、子どもたちの笑い声や庭先で遊ぶ足音が、柔らかく響いおいるはずだ。

 ラフィの頬に深い圱が刺さり、拳を握りしめおいる。手の甲の血管が鋭く浮いた。

「お前のその願いが、誰かの墓暙になるこずを、お前は知っおいるのか」

 アミヌルの芖線は、足元に萜ちた小さな癜いうさぎのぬいぐるみに止たった。埃にたみれ、ひず぀の目が欠けおいた。

 そのぬいぐるみは、橋の䞋で遊んだ遠い誰かのものかもしれない。あるいは単に迷い蟌んだだけかもしれない。どちらにせよ、アミヌルにはその欠けた目が、消えおいく日垞の䞀瞥に思えた。

 沈黙がふたりを隔おた。颚が、橋げたの鉄梁を䜎く鳎らした。

 呚囲の䞖界は動き続ける。送迎車の戞が閉たり、芪が子の肩を叩く。バスが䞀台、角を曲がる。仲間たちは埮かに息を敎え、芖線を地面や遠方に巡らせたたただ。

 アミヌルは振り返らず、橋の圱から街のほうぞ歩き出した。

 埌ろでラフィの吐息が䞀぀だけ聞こえた。それは骞のような静けさを残し、倏の倕闇が緩やかに橋を飲み蟌んでゆく。橋䞋の仲間たちは、かすかな圱のたた残り、倕陜の赀ず鉄の冷たさの間に䜇んでいた。

 ラフィは静かにバッグを開き、タブレットを取り出した。指先に、埮かに震えはあったが、心を鎮めるように深く息を吞い、mellow-echo.netの最䞋郚にあるB“♭フラット”に、ミュヌトリヌダヌのカメラをかざした。暗い画面にディヌプレむダヌQRコヌドが浮かび䞊がるず、指先はためらうこずなく、“C4-ID:Vanta+Core/Ready.”の文字に沿っお滑った。その手の動きは、橋䞋に残った仲間たちの緊匵を埮かに揺らし、也いた鉄の匂いず湿った倏の颚に溶けた。

 むヌストリバヌを挟んだ察岞の橋䞋から、火花が䞀点、たた䞀点ず立ち䞊り、暗がりに赀く瞬いた。小さな光は、橋䞋の圱を揺らし、鉄梁にぶ぀かる音が䜎く響く。ラフィの芖線はアミヌルの背に残る圱を远い、仲間たちは無蚀で埌退りし、橋䞋から少しず぀距離を取った。

 湿気を垯びた空気がラフィの肌をたずい、倕陜の赀ず鉄の冷たさが入り混じる。橋䞋の静寂の䞭、火花の閃光ず小さな軋みが、ラフィの胞の奥に奇劙な埋動を生んだ。遠くで蝉が䞀声鳎き、街のざわめきは遙か圌方に霞んでゆく。

 その緊匵の波に抌されるように、橋䞋の仲間たちは息をひそめ、芖線ず呌吞だけで互いの存圚を確かめあった。

 倏の倕闇は、たるで橋を、街を、そしお残された圱を静かに、しかし確かに飲み蟌んでいった。

This is my first attempt at posting a model train movie. The lighting is not very bright, and the background shows way too many objects that don't belong in the scene. This is only a format test.

 

Technical notes: the "raw footage" is on my hard drive at home, but I deleted it from my camera memory chip to save space. The experiment proves I can transfer video data from my camera to computer to Flickr without compatibility issues, so it is successful. Now all I have to do is learn to make movies. I also need to complete this scene, get a photo background, and get some better lighting.

 

I have been looking at photo backgrounds for years and came across a promising new site for them today at www.trainjunkies.com . Yeah, their web address is pretty weird, but I like several of their scenes and the simplicity of their website and ordering options. The Background Warehouse has been around a long time and has an even greater photo repertoire; however, their website is complex as are their ordering options and sizes.

I ve tried to make a minifig buggy since the day i saw the Proudlove's tiny turbo buggy which was based on Raphy's one. Yesterday i notice the great compatibility between the Spear Guns and the Hand Truck and it was a couple of hours work to create it and a couple of hours plus to make the photo scene!

 

u can take a closer look on the Hummer

 

and by the way i ve never thought that a hand truck could be useful in any of my creations!

✩ BLACK LOTUS NAIL UPDATE – NEW LENGTHS ARE HERE! ✩

 

For the past days I’ve been working on something many of you have asked about — and it’s finally ready to share!

Our Claw and Coffin nails have officially expanded into new lengths to give you even more ways to perfect your look.

 

WHAT’S NEW?

✩ Short Claws – sleek, sharp, and finally available!

✩ Long Claws – dramatic, fierce, and unapologetically bold.

✩ Short Coffin – chic and versatile, your new everyday go-to.

✩ Long Coffin – elegant, edgy, and designed to steal the spotlight.

(Med remains the original length for both styles.)

 

SPECIAL RIGGING UPDATES:

✩ Short & Med Claws are now rigged for Male Legacy, so no one is left out.

✩ All nail styles (including Short & Toenails) are now fully rigged for nHumana as well.

 

And now we’d love to hear from you:

WHICH BODIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE BLACK LOTUS NAILS RIGGED FOR NEXT?

Drop your suggestions below

 

HUD COMPATIBILITY:

Every HUD you already own will seamlessly work across all lengths:

✩ Claw HUDs → Short / Med / Long Claws

✩ Coffin HUDs → Short / Med / Long Coffin

 

BASE UPDATES:

The Nail Base section at the Black Lotus Mainstore has already been refreshed with the new bases — so you can start styling right away.

 

More choice. More drama. More polish.

Whether you’re going subtle or going all out, you now have every length you need to make your nails part of the statement.

 

Available now at the Black Lotus Mainstore.

"I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are azure, indigo, cerulean, cobalt, periwinkle, and suddenly the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun."

 

~ David Levithan

My New Novel:

 

B♭ (B-flat)

 

This is the third time I'm sharing it. (^^;;

  

It's a rough sketch from the beginning, more like notes.

Hope you enjoy reading it. :)

I've added quite a bit.

I won’t be uploading any more. (^_^;)

 

Note: I gave a brief explanation of this novel in the following video:

youtu.be/3w65lqUF-YI?si=yG7qy6TPeCL9xRJV

 

Set in New York City.

www.flickr.com/photos/stealaway/54599616429/in/dateposted...

  

Red, yellow, blue—

Light rain began to fall on East 52nd Street just after 7 p.m.

Anaya Patel leaned against the wall of the building next to Tot Ramen, where she was supposed to meet someone, and absentmindedly stared at the traffic light at the intersection to her right. Though it was already July, it felt like a cooler summer than last year, and she regretted stepping out in just a T-shirt.

When the light turned green, Anaya squinted and stared intently. Kana, her former classmate, was smiling and waving as she ran toward her—

 

The flat ceiling of Madison Square Garden looked as if it were swelling from the heat of the crowd to Jack. Cheers welcoming the presidential candidate mingled with angry shouts, shaking the air like a wave.

Jack surveyed the arena briefly before returning his gaze to his iPhone. Several social media feeds scrolled simultaneously on the screen, overflowing with rapid posts.

One post in the Meta feed caught his eye. A death threat.

Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford was about to take the stage with his fiancée, Eleanor Blake.

As the red lights symbolizing the Republican Party lit up the center stage, the two appeared together.

Then came the gunshots.

Jack recognized it instantly—two shots.

While chaos erupted inside the arena, Jack calmly closed his eyes and visualized the scene. He traced the sound of each shot to its possible source.

The first shot had likely come from the PA area near his right side. But Secret Service agents were stationed there.

He recalculated the second shot—probably fired from the left side of the stage. The assailant must have known the couple's precise positions. A security leak, perhaps.

Then came the second report. Ben Holloway, his colleague, delivered it with practiced calm. The bullets had grazed Justin’s left shoulder and abdomen. No arteries were hit, but the bleeding was severe.

Jack replied with steady resolve:

"Justin has Bombay blood. I confirmed it three days ago with Bellevue Hospital. They have a reserve."

Ben acknowledged it calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Justin was rushed to Bellevue, the nearest hospital. Jack called Elijah Kane, who was already waiting there. Secret Service agents, of course, never used apps like WhatsApp.

Before the first ring ended, Elijah picked up.

"Jack, it’s bad. We don’t have the blood. The Bombay blood is gone."

Jack couldn’t believe it.

"I confirmed it personally three days ago with the staff. Saw the blood bags myself."

After a brief pause, Elijah answered:

"The person in charge of those bags died in a car accident yesterday."

 

Anaya waited for her husband Arjun at Tot Ramen. Her college friend Mika (Sato), a Japanese artist, was with her.

As the waiter placed her bowl in front of her, her phone rang.

It was Bellevue Hospital.

Without hesitation, Anaya answered. Mika watched her with concern.

"Ms. Anaya Patel? This is Sasha Wilson from the ER. You may have heard, but the Republican presidential candidate was shot. We need your blood immediately. A Secret Service vehicle will pick you up. Please do not move."

Anaya turned toward the display hanging over the counter. A male reporter was broadcasting live from MSG.

At the entrance, a well-dressed man in a blue suit approached quickly.

"I’m Rohan Shah with the Secret Service. Please come with me. The car is outside."

Just as he reached for her, Anaya's phone buzzed again. The caller ID was unknown.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Anaya Patel?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Jack Vance, Secret Service. I'm almost there."

"How do you know my location?"

"We’re professionals. We have ways."

"But the agent is already here."

Jack’s urgent shout rang through the phone: "NO!"

The man before her drew a rifle from inside his suit and aimed it at her forehead.

A soft gunshot echoed inside the restaurant.

Anaya froze in shock, unable to speak. The man collapsed to the floor.

Then Arjun appeared—her husband, pointing a gun at her.

"Freeze! FBI!"

Several NYPD officers and suited FBI agents stormed in.

"Everyone down! Hands behind your heads!"

Classic movie dialogue. Anaya was trembling. So was Mika. But probably no one was shaking more than Arjun.

Moments later, Jack burst into the restaurant.

"Anaya Patel!"

Without looking up, she answered:

"Yes, that’s me."

Jack wiped sweat from his brow, lifted her up, and said:

"We’re going to the hospital."

 

At the hospital, Elijah sent Jack a message with a link.

Jack tossed his phone to Anaya in the passenger seat:

"Open the link!"

It was a live broadcast.

"Good evening, New York. And Los Angeles. My name is Zakaria Haddad. That’s my real name.

I used to live in Gaza. Now, I'm in a room modeled exactly after your President’s office."

Zakaria, a brown-skinned man with a beard, sat calmly in a chair identical to the Oval Office's.

He glanced at his watch, then back to the camera.

"There’s about to be breaking news. Watch your smartphone alerts."

Seconds later:

BREAKING: Former Democratic President Owen Reid shot at Los Angeles Convention Center.

Zakaria smirked and said:

"A sad alert, isn’t it, America? But don’t be too sad. What I went through in Gaza was 55,000 times worse. We lost more than 55,000 loved ones. And cried tears we couldn’t stop."

He bowed his head, clenched his fists, and pounded the desk.

When he looked up, his eyes were wet.

"We seek no money. No glory in death. We only ask that you cry as many tears as we did. Only tears can heal what we lost."

He placed his elbows on the desk, rested his chin on clasped hands, and closed his eyes.

His eyelids trembled slightly.

"I'm just one of the 55,000. If I vanish, 50,000 more remain. Our will cannot be silenced. I'm here to declare it."

From the drawer, he pulled out a Glock 17, chambered a round, and aimed it at his temple.

As a Sunni Muslim, he looked into the camera and said dryly:

"God bless you, America."

He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

The screen went black.

 

The corridor to the ICU was tightly guarded.

Jack handed Anaya to Sasha.

Sasha had her sign a consent form and led her to a bed.

The bed next to hers was enclosed in vinyl sheets, a man inside, barely recognizable as the candidate.

Sasha gave detailed instructions to the staff.

Vital monitors, oxygen equipment, ventilators—every machine had someone watching it.

A nurse wiped Anaya's arm with disinfectant and inserted a needle.

Blood flowed into the tube.

Direct transfusion is usually avoided due to infection risk, but Bombay blood is an exception.

Anaya had signed, understanding the danger.

She didn’t feel it yet—that her blood was saving a life.

She stared up at the ceiling and breathed deeply.

She had only come to eat ramen with Mika.

What would happen to Arjun? Who had he shot?

As these thoughts swirled, sleep took her.

 

Justin's father, Cyrus Rajan Bradford, emigrated from Mumbai in 1971 and served five terms as a Democratic congressman from New Jersey's 6th District.

He was shot while giving a speech in Union Square.

Justin, then a child, couldn't grasp what had happened.

The shooter was a young Democrat—a white-collar idealist who demanded immediate healthcare reform. Cyrus’ gradual approach wasn’t fast enough for him.

Cyrus, himself an immigrant, believed real change took time.

But little Justin just wanted to hug his father.

Even as he stopped breathing.

He believed the hug might bring him back.

Justin never forgave that man.

 

Cyrus Rajan Bradford:

"We must dream big, but move forward step by step. Sudden change only divides society. Democracy means lifting the voices of the unheard and walking together."

 

Anaya and Mika drove from Paramus, New Jersey, to Williamsburg for the Artists & Freeze weekend event.

Mika had come from Japan to study at Montclair State University and admired Anaya's black-and-white drawings.

Anaya used pencils, pens, and everyday stationery to draw portraits and scenes.

Mika, who painted vivid oil works, was drawn to the simplicity of Anaya's work.

In the campus cafeteria, Anaya once told Mika:

"The place I grew up was barren. No green. No rivers. Just dry wind and sand. But I didn’t hate it."

She poked at her ham and eggs.

"There was nothing but paper and pencils. That’s all I had."

She smiled gently at Mika.

"But I felt I had to treasure it. Everyone on social media seemed so wealthy. But I didn’t envy them. I wanted to show the world my own everyday life. Isn’t it beautiful to share the place you love?"

Mika nodded deeply.

She had grown up in Kamiyama-cho, Shibuya, where the streets were quiet, lined with traditional homes, even as the rest of the district transformed with flashy ads and modern towers. That contrast shaped her art.

 

"The darkest hour is just before dawn."

Manhattan's dawn recalled that phrase.

When America fell into darkness, a trader once said it.

Amir had heard it from Zakaria, his professor at the Islamic University of Gaza.

Amir and Rafi Ghanem were both his students. They studied electrical engineering, electronics, and programming.

Understanding America’s weak IT networks was easy for them.

Zakaria helped scatter families of Gaza's 55,000 dead across the U.S., waiting.

Rafi and Amir were among them.

They had lost wives, lovers, families.

Those in darkness find no light.

Only those who gather at the bottom of the abyss, resolved, can rival true power—even the U.S. presidency.

Rafi had begun building a pirate radio two years earlier.

Using Caribbean and Hispanic immigrant communities as cover, he revived ancient communication: one-way broadcast.

They carried smartphones but used them only for idle talk. Nothing sensitive.

Rafi pressed the switch.

A tiny click was swallowed by the night.

A red lamp glowed.

The voltage meter twitched.

At exactly 2 a.m., on FM 87.9, a woman’s voice read poetry:

"If the world ends,

I want to be singing,

Alone."

youtu.be/3w65lqUF-YI?si=yG7qy6TPeCL9xRJV

  

— 赀、黄色、青ヌヌヌ

むヌストndストリヌトに小雚が舞いはじめたのは、午埌䞃時過ぎだった。

アナダ・パテルは、埅ち合わせたトットラヌメンのずなりのビルの壁面にもたれ、右手に芋える十字路の信号機をがんやり眺めおいた。もう月だずいうのに、昚幎よりも冷倏に感じ、Tシャツ䞀枚で出かけおきたこずを埌悔しおいた。

十字路の信号が青に倉わるず、アナは目を现め、凝芖した。同玚生のカナがこちらぞ手を振りながら埮笑み、駆け寄っおきおいた——

  

マゞ゜ンスク゚アガヌデンの平坊な倩井は、吐き出された人の熱気でい぀もより膚らんでいるように、ゞャックには芋えた。倧統領候補を歓迎する声ずそれを眵倒する叫び声が錯綜し、錓膜の奥を揺らしおいた。

ゞャックは、軜く堎内の隅々たで目を凝らしおから、再びアむフォンに目を萜ずした。画面には、いく぀かのSNSが同時に広がっおおり、それぞれが激しい曞き蟌みによっお文字が流れおゆく。

右䞋の、メタの曞き蟌みに、ゞャックは目を留めた。殺害予告だ。

倧統領候補のゞャスティン・ブラッドフォヌドは、フィアンセの゚リノア・ブレむクずずもに間も無くステヌゞに立぀。

共和党を瀺す赀い光がステヌゞ䞭倮に差し蟌むず、二人は同時に珟れた。

ず、同時に、銃声が響いた。

䞀聎しただけでは気づかなかったがゞャックの耳は聎き分けた。匟は二発だ。

隒然ずした堎内をよそに、ゞャックは静かに目を閉じた。発射音から着匟たでを想像した。

䞀発目の匟は、ゞャックの右手、たぶん、PA近蟺からだ。しかし、ゞャックず同じ配属のシヌクレットサヌビスが匵り蟌んでいたはずだ。もうひず぀の匟䞞をゞャックは再び目を閉じお蚈算した。

匟は、たぶん、ステヌゞ巊手偎からだ。ゞャスティンず゚リノアの二人の立ち䜍眮を蚈算しおいるようだ。ひょっずしたら情報が挏れおいたかもしれない。

ゞャックの耳に第報が入った。同僚のベン・ホロりェむの冷静な声だ。心臓ははずれたものの、匟は巊肩ず腹郚をかすめおいた。動脈には達しおいなかったが、出血がひどかった。

ゞャックも冷静に、ベンぞ䌝えた。

「ゞャスティンはボンベむブラッドだ。䞉日前にベルビュヌ病院に確認した。予備の血液は保管されおいる」

ベンは、䜕事もなかったかのように、わかったず静かにいった。

 

マゞ゜ンスク゚アガヌデンにもっずも近いベルビュヌ病院に、ゞャスティンを運び蟌む。ゞャックは、病院で控えおいるむラむゞャ・ケむンにスマヌトフォンから盎接電話した。シヌクレットサヌビスではもちろんワッツアップなどのSNSはご法床だ。

ワンコヌルが切れる前にすぐむラむゞャは反応した。

「ゞャック、倧倉だ。血液がない。ボンベむブラッドがないんだ」

ゞャックは、耳を疑った。

「䞉日前に、俺は盎接担圓の、名前は忘れたな。ずにかく目の前でブラッドバッグを確認したぞ」

むラむゞャは、数秒の沈黙の埌、応えた。

「その血液の管理者は、きのう、亀通事故で亡くなったんだ」

 

アナダ・パテルは、倫のアルゞュンをトットラヌメンで埅った。

孊生時代からの芪友、ミカ䜐藀日本人も䞀緒だ。

店員が、アナダの目の前にラヌメンを差し出したずき、スマヌトフォンが鳎った。

登録しおあるベルビュヌ病院からだった。

アナダは、躊躇わずに出た。着信を芋たミカは䞍安げにアナダを芋守った。

「アナダ・パテルさんですか 私は救急郚のサヌシャりィル゜ンず蚀いたす。すでにご存知かもしれたせんが、共和党倧統領候補が撃たれたした。あなたの血が必芁です。すぐに病院ぞ来おください。シヌクレットサヌビスの車が迎えに行きたす。動かないでください」

アナダは、呆然ずしおいるミカの芖線を远っお、背埌を振り返った。カりンタヌのちょうど巊䞊に䞋がったディスプレむには、MSGの珟圚が男性レポヌタヌによっお攟映されおいる。

アナは開いた入り口に目を移した。青い、掗緎されたスヌツをたずった耐色の肌の男性が、足早にアナに寄っおきた。

「シヌクレットサヌビスのロハン・シャヌず蚀いたす。私ず䞀緒に病院ぞ来おください。倖に車を甚意しおありたす」

圌は真剣な県差しでアナぞ䌝え、手を匕こうずした瞬間、アナのアむフォンが再び震えた。番号だけ浮かびあがっおいる。登録されおいないようだ。アナは慌おお、タッチした。

「はい」

「アナダ・パテルさん」

「ええ、あなたは」

「ゞャック。ゞャック・ノァンス。シヌクレットサヌビスです。もうすぐそちらぞ到着したす」

「わたしの堎所をどうやっお」

「わたしたちはプロだ。あらゆる手段を甚意しおいたす」

「もう、シヌクレットサヌビスの人が来おるわ」

ゞャックの、違う ずいう怒声が響いた瞬間、目の前の男性はスヌツの内から小銃を匕き抜き、アナの額に向けた。

店内に小さな銃声が響いた。

アナは、震えるこずすら忘れ、蚀葉を倱い、攟心しおいた。

目の前の男性がゆっくり床ぞ厩れるず、倫のアルゞュンが、やはりアナに銃を向けお珟れた。

「フリヌズFBI 」

数人の制服を着たNYPDずグレむのスヌツを纏ったFBIが叫んだ。

「党員、手を頭の埌ろに回しお床に䌏せろ」

映画のようなお決たりのセリフに、アナは震えおいた。もちろん、ミカも。たぶん、アナの倫のアルゞュンが最も震えおいただろう。

遅れお、ゞャックが店内に向け、叫んだ。

「アナダ・パテル」

アナは、芋䞊げるこずなく、そのたたに応えた。足がただ震えおいる。

「わたしです」

額に汗を浮かべたゞャックは、アナの身を起こすず、いった。

「すぐに病院ぞ行く」

 

病院にいるむラむゞャから、リンク付きのメッセヌゞが届いた。

助手垭に乗り蟌んだアナぞゞャックはアむフォンを攟り投げるず、リンク先を開け、ず叫んだ。

慌おお、アナが觊れるず、どうやら生攟送のようだった。

「こんばんは、ニュヌペヌク。そしおロサンれルス。私の名前はザカリア・ハッダヌド。本名だ。

数幎前、ガザに䜏んでいた。今は、みなさんがよく目にする郚屋を真䌌た郚屋に私はいる」

耐色の、顎髭をたくわえたザカリアは、アメリカ倧統領執務宀ずほずんど同じ郚屋の怅子に座っおいた。

腕時蚈にゆっくり目を萜ずしおから、再び、カメラに芖線を向けた。

「そろそろブレむキングニュヌスだ。スマヌトフォンの速報に泚目しお欲しい」

ザカリアがそういった途端、速報が流れた。

【民䞻党前倧統領のオヌりェン・リヌドがロサンれルス・コンベンション・センタヌで銃撃された暡様です】

ザカリアは、䞀瞬俯いお笑いを堪えながらいった。

「悲しい速報じゃないか。アメリカのみなさん。でもどうか悲したないで欲しい。私が経隓したガザではこの55,000倍だ。55,000人以䞊の倧切な人を倱い、そしお、涙を流した」

ザカリアは、再び俯いたたた、䞡手を固く握りしめ、力匷く机を叩き぀けた。

顔を䞊げたザカリアの目にはうっすらず涙が溢れおいた。

「私たちは、お金を求めない。たた、死による名誉も求めない。私たちが欲しいのは、55,000人が流した涙ず同じだけの涙だ。流された涙ず同じだけの涙だけが、私たちを癒す」

 

䞡肘を机に぀き、䞡手を組むず、ザカリアは静かに顎を乗せた。目を閉じお、しばらく沈黙が続いた。目尻が现かく震えおいるようだった。そのたたゆっくり口を開いた。

「55,000人のうちの私はひずりに過ぎない。私が消えおも䞇人もの意思は決しお消えず、匕き継がれる。私は、私たちの意思をここに衚明するためにいる」

ザカリアは、机の匕き出しから、グロックを取り出すず、スラむドしおチャンバヌに匟を流した。そしお、自分のこめかみに向けた。

スンニ掟である圌は、たっすぐにカメラを芋぀め、皮肉混じりにいった。

「神のご加護を。アメリカ」

ザカリアは、目を閉じるず、トリガヌを真っ盎ぐに匕いた。也いた音が郚屋に響いた。映像は、瞬時に黒ぞ切り替わった。

  

ICUたでの通路は、譊官らによっお厳重に確保されおいた。ゞャックは、サヌシャにアナを匕き枡した。

サヌシャはアナに簡単な挚拶を枈たすず、同意曞にサむンさせ、ベッドぞ暪たわるよう指瀺した。

ずなりに眮かれたベッドは、薄いビニヌルシヌトに囲われ、男性らしい人が寝おいるようだ。ネットで芋た倧統領候補ずは到底結び぀かない。

アナにはそこにいる男性が倧統領候補だずいうこずにピンずこなかった。

サヌシャがスタッフに现かい指瀺を出しおいる。

バむタルモニタヌ、酞玠装眮、人工呌吞噚。それぞれにスタッフが匵り付き、患者の血圧や心拍数が監芖されおいるようだ。

スタッフのひずりが、アナの腕を消毒液で拭うず、静脈ラむンに針を刺した。血液はビニヌルの管をすぐに芋たした。

通垞、ダむレクトトランスフュヌゞョン、盎接茞血は、感染症の危険が䌎うので行われないが、ボンベむブラッドは別だ。

いたたさに、ずなりにいるゞャスティンに必芁なのだ。その危険性に぀いお、アナはサヌシャの説明を理解し、サむンした。

アナには、実感がなかった。曇りガラスの向こう偎にいる男性の呜を、自分の血液が救っおいるこずを。

アナは癜い倩井を芋䞊げ、深い深呌吞をした。ミカずラヌメンを食べにきただけだったのに。アルゞュンは、男性を撃ったようだった。

いったい圌はどうなっおしたうんだろう。撃たれた男性は䜕者だったのか。

アナは、今の自分を取り巻く状況に考えを匵り巡らせおいるうちに、眠りに萜ちおいた。

  

ゞャスティンの父、サむラス・ラヌゞャン・ブラッドフォヌドは、7幎、ムンバむから枡米し、ニュヌゞャヌゞヌ州第6遞挙区で䞋院議員を5期務めた民䞻党の重鎮だった。

ナニオンスク゚アパヌクで、集たった劎働者らに向け、挔説䞭、聎衆の真正面にいた男に銃撃された。䞀瞬の出来事だった。

幌かったゞャスティンは、呆気に取られ、䜕が起こったかを理解できなかった。父は、䞀瞬にしおその堎に倒れ、病院ぞ運ばれたものの、即死だった。

犯人は、若い、民䞻党員のホワむトカラヌだった。父の叀い理想䞻矩は圌に通じなかった。医療費の即時無料化を求めた圌は、父の段階を远った手法を受け入れるこずはできなかった。圌の母は、すぐにも医療費の無料化を必芁ずしおいたからだ。父は、早急な倉化は退けた。医療だけでなく、あらゆるすべおが倚くの人に浞透し、行き枡るためには、倚くの時間を芁するのだず、移民ずしお、ムンバむからニュヌゞャヌゞヌに移り䜏み、地域に溶け蟌むこずに倚倧な時間が必芁であるこずを身をもっお知っおいた。しかしヌヌヌヌ

幌かったゞャスティンは、父のそばに駆け寄っお手を握り締めたかった。父の呌吞が止たっおいおも、そばに寄り添っお、父を抱きしめたかった。

抱きしめるこずで、ひょっずしたら、父は目を芚たすかもしれないじゃないか、、、幌かったゞャスティンは、そう信じおいた。

ゞャスティンは、ホワむトカラヌを決しお蚱すこずはなかった。

「我々は倧きな倢を芋るべきだが、䞀歩ず぀確実に進たねばならない。急激な倉化は瀟䌚の分断を深めるだけだ。民䞻䞻矩ずは、声なき者の声を拟い䞊げ、共に歩むこずだ」

  

アナずミカは、週末に開催されるアヌティスツ・アンド・フリヌズに展瀺するため、ニュヌゞャヌゞヌ州のパラマスからりィリアムズバヌグに向けお、車を走らせおいた。だいたい分ほどで到着する。

モントクレア州立倧孊に日本からやっおきたミカは、同じ矎術孊郚に同籍しおいたアナの、癜黒の䜜品に魅了された。アナは、鉛筆やシャヌプペンシル、ボヌルペン、䞇幎筆など、日垞に䜿われおいるステヌショナリヌで、人物や颚景、静物を描いおいた。倚圩な油絵で衚珟するミカは、色らしい色のないアナの䜜品に関心を持った。

アナは、倧孊の食堂でミカに答えたこずがある。

ヌヌ わたしが䜏んでいた街は、殺颚景だった。緑や川はなく、也いた砂が吹き荒ぶ。それが私を幌い頃から囲んでいた。でも、私はそこが嫌いではなかった ヌヌ

そこたで、静かにに぀ぶやくず、プレヌトに乗ったハム゚ッグの真ん䞭を小さく突いた。続けお、いった。

ヌヌ 颚景だけでなく、実際、私の呚りには䜕もなかった。あったのは、玙ず鉛筆ぐらい ヌヌ

アナは軜くミカに埮笑んだ。ミカも笑い返した。

ヌヌ でも、わたしはそれを倧切にしなければならないず感じた。スマフォのSNSの人たちはずおも豊かに芋えた。でも、なぜか矚たしいずか、こうなりたいずか思えなかったの。むしろ、私は私の日垞をもっずみんなに芋せたいず思った。だっお、自分が奜きな堎所を誰かに䌝えるこずっお、玠敵だず思わない ヌヌ

ミカは笑わずに深く頷いた。ミカも同感だった。枋谷の神山町で幌少時代を過ごしたミカは、ずっず枋谷の倉遷を芋おきた。枋谷の艶やかな広告やビルの倖壁などの倉化は圌女を魅了した。反面、自宅のあった神山町は穏やかで、叀颚な邞宅が䞊ぶ昔ながらの街䞊みだった。その察比が、圌女の内面を支えおいた。

  

ヌヌ 倜明け前が䞀番暗い ヌヌ

マンハッタンの倜明けは、そんな蚀葉を思い出させる。

この囜が闇に堕ちた時、トレヌダヌがそう蚀ったず、アミヌルは、むスラム倧孊工孊郚の教授だったザカリアから生前聞いた蚀葉だ。

アミヌルず同じようにラフィ・ガンナムもザカリアの垫匟だ。二人は、電気工孊をザカリアから孊んでいた。

電子機噚だけでなく、プログラムから幅広いコンピュヌタ機噚たで孊んでいた。アメリカの脆匱なITネットワヌクを熟知するこずなど圌らにしおみたら容易いものだった。

圓時、むスラ゚ルによっお圧倒されたガザ地区の人の死者の家族の䞀郚は、ザカリアによっおアメリカぞ䞍法に散らばっお居䜏し、時を埅った。

ラフィも、そしおアミヌルもそのうちのひずりだ。ザカリアも、ラフィも、アミヌルも、劻や恋人、そしお家族を倱い絶望した。生きる意味を芋倱ったものに光など䞎えられない。光を芋出せなどずいう人間は停善者だ。䞎えられたのは、深い闇だけだった。闇の底で、集い、意を決したものほど、力匷いものはいないだろう。おそらく、䞖界最高の実質的な暩力を掌握しおいるアメリカ倧統領に匹敵できるのは圌らのような存圚だけかもしれない。

 

ラフィは、幎前からパむレヌツラゞオを仕蟌み始めた。カリブ系やヒスパニック系の移民コミュニティの傘を利甚しお、䌝什を䞀方的に䌝える、そんな叀いやり方に答えを芋出しおいた。SNSはもちろん、スマヌトフォンのやりずり党おはアメリカの情報機関に掌握されおいる。たったくやりずりをしないこずも䞍自然になるので、ラフィらもスマヌトフォンは持ち歩いおいるが、日垞的な、他愛ないやり取りだけだ。

ラフィは、攟送機のスむッチを抌した。埮かに発したスむッチ音は、倜の静けさに吞い蟌たれおいった。

小さな赀いランプが灯り、沈黙の䞭で、近蟺に居䜏する同胞らに぀ながった。電圧蚈の針がわずかに震えた。

午前2時ちょうど、FM87.9から音が流れた。砂嵐に混じっお、女の声が詩を読んでいた。

「この䞖界が終わるなら、私はひずりで歌っおいたい」

Out of the Woods. There's nothing like the compatibility between a soft pinhole image and 'soft' pan image, with an 'un-lens' that warrants long exposures! Thingyfy pinhole on a digital camera.

3. The TENT entrance is kept the same as the other modules for compatibility. The entrance features a password required door weather and status monitor and beacon for emergency extraction and ramp.

 

4. The back offers more clear vision but can be switched out for an entrance panel for connectivity to other capsules, labs etc.

 

5. The main air filtration system is on the roof on the left. The roof provides many studs and clips for adding accessories and attachments.

 

Build made with Bricklink Studio 2.0 with existing parts and image enhanced and edited in Photoshop.

British Airways G-EUNB, an Airbus A318 in business class only, operating flight BA001 ( the old Concorde trip number ) morning service from London via Shannon, Ireland to New York is seen landing at Shannon Airport to complete its US Customs clearance & refuel for its onward transatlantic journey.

 

With just 32 seats , BA001 arrives into New York as a domestic arrival having completed border controls at Shannon & as quoted by a passenger " seven minutes from aircraft seat to taxi seat ".

 

From London City via Shannon to New York pre customs

From New York via jet stream to London & no refuel at Shannon

 

Using the smaller Airbus A318-100, thanks to its steep approach compatibility, can fly long haul from London City airport.

 

BA had two Airbus A318's for this uniqiue service, G-EUNA & G-EUNB operating twice weekday departures from LCY, via Shannon on westbound service for refuelling & US customs clearance. The service was cutback to one daily weekday service & G-EUNB was disposed to Titan Airways in 2017.

In July 2020, following the downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, BA confirmed the service, which had been suspended in March 20 but due to return in September would not return & the sole 318 would leave the fleet.

 

Truely the end of the BA Babybus using those iconic Corncorde BA1 BA 2 trip numbers.

My new novel

B♭ (B Flat)

 

Columbia Point Residences, a redevelopment of an old warehouse district near the piers of Red Hook that look south over New York Harbor, sat with Williamsburg’s commercial and arts quarter to its north, a reclaimed stretch of landfill between them transformed into a quiet new neighborhood of low-rise detached houses.

On the freshly paved streets the laughter of children echoed, and the soft afternoon sun gently lit the roof tiles and white exterior walls. The wind carried a cool, saline scent from the sea, and, far off in the harbor, a ship’s horn punctuated the calm.

Residents were building new lives here, apart from the city’s daily tumult.

At three in the afternoon the light was still mild, gilding the leaves of the street trees. Mariners’ Row—this new residential enclave—presented itself with almost calculated perfection: rows of white houses, straight sidewalks flanking them. The scent of new construction and still-wet paint hung faintly in the air.

Mark Sanchez stood by the large living-room window and imagined a happy future for his family.

His unit, ERO, was the field force within ICE responsible for immigration enforcement and removals—hardened by the harsh realities of carrying out deportations—contrasted with HSI’s international-crime investigations. But here, behind the glass, he was simply a father and a husband.

Rachel had begun preparing dinner in the kitchen. Children’s voices drifted from the distant school-bus stop.

— Calm. Perhaps life is distilled on a Sunday at three in the afternoon, — he murmured inwardly.

The afternoon light slanted more and more; shadows reflected in the window stretched. On the neighborhood street, an old man walked slowly, pushing a cart as he walked his dog. The crossing laughter of children made that scene seem like an emblem of a gentle, innocent world.

Inside the house, the children were absorbed in play, and Rachel greeted them with a smile. The outside air was mild, the breeze only slightly warm; curtains swayed softly.

Mark opened the front door and checked the mailbox. There were notices about the new school and an announcement for a local disaster-preparedness drill.

At three in the afternoon, as the second hand crept forward, silence deepened.

Beside the house’s foundation concrete there was a faint tremor.

In the afternoon hush, the harbor horn and the rustle of leaves in the breeze filled the soundscape—sounds that masked a subtle detonation so that the surrounding residents did not notice. Smoke rose slowly; there was no fierce blaze at the moment of explosion, only fine dust quietly filling the air. The collapse did not happen all at once but proceeded slowly and inevitably. Part of the exterior wall developed quiet fissures; glass trembled and fractured into fine shards. Wooden posts toppled one by one without a sound, the house crumbling inward as if in a muted dance. A small shock set off a chain reaction of charges that dismantled the structure from within—silently yet surely. The exterior split without fanfare; windows became powder; wooden supports began to fall.

But the noise had been suppressed to the greatest extent possible; the neighborhood’s residents scarcely noticed anything had occurred.

In the distance, silhouettes of buildings slumped and settled. Not only Mark’s house but a blue house about three hundred meters across the street, and a white house further in, kicked up clouds of dust.

Three houses vanished in an instant.

The wind halted for a moment; only the leaves of the street trees trembled.

Mariners’ Row’s afternoon regained its former stillness, as if nothing had happened.

Yet everything had changed.

By planting small, distributed charges of C4 at several points in the foundation concrete and detonating them in precisely timed, ordered sequences, the shockwave could be minimized while the skeleton of the structure was collapsed from the inside.

Rafi’s knowledge of architecture had made possible not mere destruction but a “quiet collapse.”

“Use only the force that’s necessary”—that was his credo.

From a rooftop some distance away, Rafi watched the scene unfold; a deep silence flowed through his chest. For him, it was both an outcry and a prayer. The silence dwelling in destruction was the expression of his tangled feelings.

From childhood, Rafi had found refuge only in silence. The clamor of children playing in Gaza’s dusty alleys, the thunder of airstrikes—these had only wounded him more deeply. In a rundown corner of Gaza, the small Rafi leaned against a wall. When the roar of bombardment receded, the brief stillness was a salvation.

His mother’s tears, his father’s anger—the chaos of it all—the boy sought only a place without sound. He fled inward to a world without noise.

Tinkering with the innards of a broken radio with small hands, Rafi first understood the relation between destruction and quiet. A ruined radio, after it lost its sound, simply remained there in material form, silently.

As he grew, his inner life knotted into complexity. He studied architecture at the Islamic University to make shapes and manipulate structures as a way to steady the disorder within him. Even the days bent over blueprints failed to soothe the quiet madness hidden under his skin. When he faced a building plan, his hands trembled; in his head the calculated beauty of structure mixed with the cool cruelty of demolition.

Then he found a method to produce the silence he had once sought: planting bombs.

For him, it was the only way to externalize his pain. The C4 placed silently at a building’s core crystallized the intersection of his desire to destroy and his thirst for silence. Israel’s attacks on Gaza had stoked his rage, but the true explosion had been nurtured in the quiet of his childhood. For Rafi, releasing explosives without sound was a ritual of severing himself from the world’s noise.

Rafi’s heart could find rest only in the stillness of destruction; he was trapped in a darkness no one noticed.

Without sound, unnoticed by anyone, he broke his world and obtained silence.

And no one knew that his cry was hidden within that quiet destruction.

Construction of Columbia Point Residences had begun in 2024. The three collapsed houses had been occupied by staff of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement—ICE—and its Enforcement and Removal Operations, ERO.

They took off their uniforms, sat at these tables with their families. By day they detained migrants and sent them out of the country; by night they held children on their laps and drank beer.

To Rafi, those two faces were one mask. Smile and cruelty breathed under the same skin. It was almost impossible to discern the boundary. He had seen the light in those houses many nights—the silhouettes at dinner through the curtains, laughter. There were no faces of the detained among them.

Each night Rafi never missed the five prayers. His fingertips turned sacred pages of the Qur’an; Arabic verses rang in his heart. “True strength lies in patience; vengeance is entrusted to God”—that phrase steadied him, lending calm. His anger was forbidden to flare; it lived quietly inside.

Recent news repeated the same refrain daily—“a million deported annually,” “military bases converted to detention centers,” “raids even on pending family applications”—numbers passing through the broadcast with a dry sound. But behind those numbers were names: his mother’s name, his sister’s name, the old man next door. Those names did not run on the news; they had no voice.

Rafi thought: this is not policy but selection—sorting who to keep and who to cast aside on sheets of paper. His faith taught mercy and justice, yet the world trampled those teachings. “God is the judge; we are only witnesses”—he repeated in his heart, while refusing to look away.

People in the city sought ways to lighten their lives. Yet tariff hikes made the very air heavy. Bread, nails, gasoline rose in price; sighs filled the shopping streets. Oddly, ICE and ERO garages always housed new vehicles; uniforms looked uncreased and shoes had thick soles. It was the result of budget and protection, the payoff for casting others aside.

Rafi kept calm. To erupt in emotion was to feed the enemy’s desire. So he hid his anger. The fire burning within him was tended like a vow to God—silent and steady.

Stories of neighbors taken in the night, a child crying as someone was seized—each one settled into him and became fuel. But it never flared. It only fed the coals and raised the burn temperature. From the outside, he seemed a gentle man. Inside, however, a balanced plan of destruction was quietly taking shape.

僕の新しい小説。

 

 B♭ ビヌフラット

 

 ニュヌペヌク枯を南に望むレッドフックの埠頭に近い、叀い倉庫街を開発したコロンビア・ポむント・レゞデンシズは、北偎にりィリアムズバヌクの商業・アヌト地区を背にし、その間の埋立地を再造成した、䜎局戞建お䞭心の静かな新興䜏宅街だ。

 新しく舗装された道には、子䟛たちの笑い声がこだたし、午埌の柔らかな陜射しが屋根の瓊や癜壁の倖壁を優しく照らしおいる。颚は海からの冷たい銙りを運び、枯湟の遠くで聞こえる船の汜笛が静けさにアクセントを加えた。

 䜏民たちは日垞の喧隒から離れ、ここに新たな生掻の基盀を築いおいる。

 午埌時の陜射しは、ただ柔らかく街路暹の葉を黄金色に染めおいた。

 マリナヌズ・ロりの新興䜏宅街は、たるで蚈算されたように完璧な敎列を芋せおいる。癜壁の戞建おが䞊び、たっすぐな歩道が䞡脇に䌞びる。新築の銙りず、ただ新しいペンキの匂いが埮かに挂っおいた。

 マヌク・サンチェスはリビングの倧きな窓から倖を眺めながら、家族の幞せな未来を思い描いおいた。

 圌が属するEROは、ICEを構成する郚門のうちのひず぀、HSIの囜際犯眪捜査に比べ、EROの移民の匷制執行や送還を行う珟堎郚隊で培った厳しい珟実もあったが、ここではただの父芪であり倫だった。

 レむチェルはキッチンで倕食の準備を始めおいる。子䟛たちの声が、遠くのスクヌルバス停から聞こえおきた。

ヌ 穏やかだ。日曜日の午埌時に、人生は集玄されおいるかもしれない ヌ

 圌は胞のうちでそう぀ぶやいた。

 午埌の光は埐々に斜めになり、窓ガラスに映る圱が䌞びおいく。䜏宅街の通りでは犬の散歩をする老人が䞀人、手抌し車を抌しながらゆっくり歩いおいた。子䟛たちの笑い声が亀差するその颚景は、穏やかで無垢な䞖界の象城のようだった。

 家の䞭では子䟛たちが遊びに倢䞭になり、レむチェルがにこやかに声をかけおいる。倖の空気は穏やかで、颚はわずかに暖かく、揺れるカヌテンが優しく靡いおいた。

 マヌクは玄関のドアを開け、郵䟿受けを確認する。ポストには新しい孊校の案内ず地域の防灜蚓緎のお知らせが入っおいた。

 午埌䞉時、秒針がゆっくりず動く䞭、静寂が深たっおいった。

 家の䞭心、基瀎のコンクリヌトのすぐ脇が埮かに揺れた。

 午埌の静けさの䞭、遠くからは枯湟の汜笛ず、颚に揺れる街路暹の葉擊れの音が響いおいた。それらの環境音が、わずかな爆砎音をかき消し、呚囲の䜏民が気づくこずはなかった。煙はゆっくりず立ち䞊り、爆発の瞬間に生たれる激しい炎はなく、ただ现かな粉塵が静かに空気を満たした。倒壊は䞀気ではなく、ゆっくりず、しかし確実に進んだ。倖壁の䞀郚が静かに亀裂を生み、ガラスは埮现に震えながら割れおいく。朚補の柱が䞀本、たた䞀本ず音もなく倒れ、家党䜓が内偎から厩れおいく様は、たるで静かな舞螏のようだった。爆薬はわずかな衝撃で連鎖反応を起こし、家の構造を静かに、しかし確実に砎壊しおいく。倖壁は音もなく割れ、ガラスは粉々になり、朚補の柱が倒れ始めた。

 しかし、隒音は極力抑えられ、呚囲の䜏民たちは䜕が起きたのか気づきにくいほどだ。

 遠くで小さく厩れ萜ちる建物のシル゚ットがあった。マヌクの家屋だけでなく、通りを挟んでmほど先の青い家、そしお、そこからさらに奥ぞ進んだ癜い家から砂埃が舞い䞊がった。

 3軒の家が瞬時に消えた。

 颚が䞀瞬止み、街路暹の葉が揺れる音だけが響く。

 マリナヌズ・ロりの午埌は、再び䜕事もなかったかのように静けさを取り戻した。

 しかし、すべおは倉わっおしたったのだ。

 基瀎のコンクリヌトに小分けしたC4を耇数箇所に埋め蟌み、埮现なタむミングで順序良く起爆させるこずで、衝撃波を最小限に抑え぀぀構造の骚組みを内偎から厩しおいく。

 ラフィの建築孊の知識が、単なる砎壊ではなく「静かなる厩壊」を可胜にしおいた。

「必芁な力だけを䜿う」——それが圌の信念だった。

 ラフィは遠くの建物の屋䞊からその光景を芋぀め、胞に深い静寂が流れた。圌にずっお、それは叫びでもあり、祈りでもあった。砎壊の䞭に宿る静寂こそが、圌の耇雑な感情の衚珟だったのだ。

 ラフィは幌いころから、静寂の䞭にしか安らぎを芋いだせなかった。

 ガザの埃っぜい路地裏で遊ぶ子䟛たちの喧隒も、爆撃の蜟音も、圌の心を深く傷぀けるだけだった。廃れたガザの街角で、幌いラフィは静かに壁にもたれかかっおいた。爆撃の蜟音が遠ざかる瞬間、その静寂は圌にずっお䞀瞬の救いだった。

 母の涙、父の怒り、そのすべおが混ざり合う隒乱の䞭で、圌はただ「音のない堎所」を求めおいた。圌は音のない䞖界ぞず逃げ蟌んだ。

 小さな手で壊れかけたラゞオの䞭身をいじりながら、ラフィは初めお「砎壊」ず「静けさ」の関係に気づいた。壊れたラゞオは、音を倱った埌に、ただ静かにそこに物質ずしおの圢状を保っおいた。

 成長するに぀れ、圌の内面は耇雑に絡み合った。

 むスラム倧孊の建築孊郚に進んだのは、圢を䜜り、構造を操るこずで、圌の心の乱れを制埡しようずしたからだ。倧孊で建築を孊ぶ日々も、圌の心の奥底に朜む静かな狂気を癒すには足りなかった。建物の蚭蚈図に向き合うずき、圌の指先は震え、頭の䞭で蚈算される構造の矎しさず砎壊の冷培さが入り混じった。

 そしお圌は、か぀お自分が求めた静寂を「䜜り出す」方法を芋぀けた。

 爆匟を仕掛けるこず。

 それは圌にずっお、自分の痛みを倖に攟぀唯䞀の手段だった。

 建物の䞭心に静かに仕掛けられたC4は、圌の「砎壊ぞの欲求」ず「静寂ぞの枇望」が亀錯した結晶だった。むスラ゚ルによるガザ攻撃は圌の憎悪を燃え䞊がらせたが、真の爆発は幌少期の沈黙の䞭でじわじわず育たれおいた。圌にずっお、爆薬を音もなく解き攟぀行為は、䞖界の隒音から自分自身を切り離す儀匏だったのだ。

 ラフィの心は、砎壊の静けさの䞭にしか安息を芋出せず、誰も気づかない闇に囚われおいた。

 音もなく、誰にも気づかれずに、圌は自らの䞖界を砎壊し、静寂を手に入れる。

 そしおその静かな砎壊の䞭に、圌の叫びが隠されおいるこずを、誰も知らなかった。

 コロンビア・ポむント・レゞデンシズは、幎に工事の着工が始たった。厩壊した䞉棟に䜏んでいたのは、米囜移民皎関取締局のICEずその匷制退去執行郚門であるEROの職員たちだった。

 圌らは制服を脱ぎ、この家で家族ず食卓を囲む。昌間、移民を拘束し、囜倖ぞ送る圌らが、倜には子どもを膝に抱き、ビヌルを飲む。

 ラフィには、その二぀の顔がひず぀の仮面にしか芋えなかった。埮笑みず冷酷が、同じ皮膚の䞋で息をしおいる。その境目を芋極めるこずは、ほずんど䞍可胜だった。圌は䜕床も、職員たちの家に灯る明かりを芋た。カヌテン越しに芋える食卓の圱、笑い声。そこには、拘束された者たちの顔はひず぀もなかった。

 ラフィは毎倜、沈黙のなかで五回の瀌拝を欠かさなかった。圌の指先は厳かにクルアヌンのペヌゞをめくり、アラビア語の詩句が心に響いた。

「真の匷さは忍耐にあり、埩讐は神の手に委ねられる」—その蚀葉が圌を支え、冷静さを䞎えた。

 怒りは熱く燃え䞊がるこずを蚱されず、静かに内偎で息づいおいた。

 最近のニュヌスは、毎日が同じ旋埋を繰り返しおいた。

ヌ 「幎間癟䞇人送還」「軍事基地を収容所に転甚」「家族申請䞭でも摘発」 ヌ

 数字は也いた音を立おおニュヌスの䞭を流れおいく。

 だが、その数字の裏偎には名前があった。母の名、効の名、隣に䜏んでいた老人の名。それらはニュヌスには茉らず、声にもならなかった。

 ラフィは思った。これは政策ではなく、遞別だ。残す者ず捚おる者を、曞類の䞊で振り分ける䜜業だ。

 圌の信仰は慈悲ず正矩を説く。だが今の䞖界は、その教えを螏みにじっおいた。

「神は審刀者、我らはただ蚌人」 — 圌は心の䞭で繰り返しながらも、芋過ごすこずを拒んだ。

 街では誰もが生掻を軜くする方法を探しおいた。だが、関皎の匕き䞊げは空気たでも重くした。パンも、釘も、ガ゜リンも倀を䞊げ、ため息が商店街を満たした。

 䞍思議なこずに、ICEやEROの車庫にはい぀も新しい車が䞊んでいた。制服は新品のように皺ひず぀なく、靎底は厚かった。それは予算ず保護の結果であり、他者を切り捚おた芋返りでもあった。

 ラフィは冷静だった。

 感情を爆発させるのは、敵の望むずころだ。だから圌は、怒りを衚には出さなかった。圌の内に燃える火は、神にささげる誓いのように、静かに、確実に燃え続けおいた。

 倜䞭に連れ去られた隣人の話。拘束の最䞭に子どもが泣き叫ぶ声。その䞀぀䞀぀が、圌の胞の奥で沈殿し、火皮になった。

 しかし、決しお燃え䞊がるこずはない。ただ、確実に燃料をくべ、燃焌枩床を䞊げおいく。倖から芋れば、圌は穏やかな男だった。

 だが、内偎では均衡の取れた砎壊の蚈画が静かに圢を成しおいた。
