The photographer found her on the rooftop at dawn, exactly where the anonymous tip said she'd be. Marina stood at the edge, forest green coat billowing, her grandmother's fiddle clutched in one hand. He'd been hired to capture the city's "urban artists" for a magazine spread, but something about her stillness made him hesitate before raising his camera.

"One shot," she said without turning. "Then I'm gone."

He took it from above, using the drone—the aerial angle she requested. Through the viewfinder, she looked ethereal against the maroon brick and white concrete, like a ghost from another era.

The photo went viral. "Mystery Musician Vanishes After Rooftop Performance" the headlines screamed. But the photographer knew the truth he'd never tell: there had been no performance. And when he'd landed the drone and looked up, Marina was still standing there, very much solid and present.

She'd climbed down the fire escape, handed him a business card for her marketing agency, and grinned. "Thanks for playing along. Nothing sells fiddle lessons quite like a good mystery."

The wooden fiddle? A prop she'd bought on eBay for forty dollars. It didn't even have all the strings.
