He immediately jumped up from his chair, and ran straight from camera face first into a glass door. He beefed it so hard the camera frame shook.

His mother, who was busy running the eyeglass store he was studying from the back room of, hears this loud noise, and runs in the room to see what happened. She is perfectly framed as we see her look down to see the boy we cannot, with a look of surprise. (4/6)
