ATM Camera Glitch — Reflection Extra

ATM security camera footage, 8 seconds, 4:3 — overhead angle, 12:30 AM on the timestamp, a rain-slicked city sidewalk where the machine's own reflection tells a different story than the empty street. 0-2s: The fisheye overhead frames a man at the ATM, withdrawing cash, checking over his shoulder — the rain-slicked street behind him is completely empty. But in the ATM's reflective steel surround, the camera catches a second figure queued behind him: tall, rain-dark, standing too close. 2-4s: The man takes his cash and turns sharply — the sidewalk is empty, rain falling on wet pavement. He looks back at the machine's reflection: the figure is still there, and closer now, its face visible as a smeared blur in the steel. 4-6s: The ATM screen glitches, its text scrambling into unreadable characters; the man's receipt prints with no transaction listed — just the words THANK YOU in a font the bank doesn't use. He stares at it, then at the reflection. 6-8s: He runs, shoes splashing out of frame; the camera holds on the empty sidewalk, rain falling — and in the ATM's reflection, the tall figure raises one hand and waves goodbye. Craft: subject — the withdrawing man in a rain-dark jacket, the reflection-only figure; setting — rain-slicked sidewalk, the ATM with its reflective surround. Camera: fixed overhead ATM-cam angle, slight fisheye, authentic timestamp overlay, mild interlace and compression artifacts; 30fps. Lighting: the ATM's cold blue-white glow on wet pavement, sodium streetlight at the frame's edge. Atmosphere: urban paranoia made real — the dread of being queued behind by something that isn't there. Style: authentic ATM-cam realism, timestamped, ungraded night capture.
