Elemental contest!!!!

I had a busy schedule traveling last month so could not mention about my participation in “Elemental” 250 words story contest. This was my third attempt and like always it was great fun to be a part of that contest. Results are out and I am not the winner but entered the prestigious forties club. Forties club means getting forty out of forty five on Jason Evans scale. I am happy about it 
This is my entry for that contest

The Last Shot

Please move a bit,I want to get the perfect shot” shouted Rohan.
“Again” I muttered.
“Still more”
“Not a single inch now” I shouted. It’s been last fifteen minutes that he is trying to get a perfect shot of me with the sun setting in the background. I was tired now with the heat and giving poses.
“Ok” “I will manage” The next thing I heard was a thud and his voice echoing in the valley” HELP”
The rescue was started immediately but I could read in their face that they have little hope. We were here on vacations here and I was all alone. Unknown faces gathered around me to sympathize and gossip about the accident. They were still searching the body.
Is this the camera you mentioned? Asked the police inspector in charge.
It took all my strength to shake my head.
“Will need this for evidence” “you can keep this by the time we find him”
He handed me the camera. My hand was shivering as I hold the camera. Wasn’t sure what to do I scrawled the photographs. This was the last shot.
