black unlit circle like a switched-off camera lens hovers over a pale horizon; a single line rises to it and splits below into diverging golden trajectory-lines that never reconverge, beside a lone red traffic cone — a forensic diagram of two accounts of one killing that cannot both be true, and the record that was never made.
