Vanessa took a snapshot of Frankie, hoping the camera would return her to normal. However, instead of achieving the desired result, the camera transformed Frankie into something random: a miniature toy soldier.
Dismayed but determined, Vanessa captured another image, praying for a miracle. Alas, the resulting picture turned Frankie into a 80-year-old tortoise. With each attempt, she captured only disappointment and bewilderment. Frankie became a cat, a donkey, a 10-year-old boy, a 90-year-old lady, a hobo, even a garden gnome.
After ten more failed attempts, Vanessa prepared for one last shot. She focused the camera on Frankie, hesitating for a brief moment. Taking a deep breath, she pressed the shutter again, hoping against hope for a different outcome. As the flash faded, Frankie transformed into a 2-year-old toddler girl, dressed in babyish clothes, complete with a pacifier and a diaper.
"Well, I guess being a toddler is better than being a garden gnome", Vanessa chuckled.
While Vanessa took this lightly, Frankie took it differently. Tears welled up in Frankie's eyes as she looked at her new body. And just when Frankie started crying, Vanessa immediately tried to comfort her. She held the now toddler Frankie in her arms, hoping to calm her down. However, Frankie's frustration and confusion only grew. In the midst of her tantrum, Frankie's tiny hands threw the camera onto the ground. The impact shattered it, breaking it beyond repair.
