You're holding your child's hand as you round the corner. There they are—massive, impossible, real. Your kid's mouth opens. An elephant's ear flaps slowly, catching the light. For a moment, the noisy crowd around you disappears, and it's just this creature, this moment, burned into both your memories forever.
