'''''Snapshot''''' is a non-[[cosmere]] science fiction novella by Brandon Sanderson.{{ref|name=noncosmere}}

 

 

From New York Times number-one best-selling author Brandon Sanderson comes a detective thriller in a police beat like no other.

Within the re-created Snapshot of May 1, Davis and Chaz are the ultimate authorities. Flashing their badges will get them past any obstruction and overrule any civil right of the dupes around them. But the crimes the detectives are sent to investigate seem like drudgery - until they stumble upon the grisly results of a mass killing that the precinct headquarters orders them not to investigate. That's one order they have to refuse.

 

 

== Summary ==

The Photographer returns, and they follow him back to his residence, which happens to be very near the location of the second investigation that they were supposed to do. Davis confronts the Photographer and pretends to understand why he needs to kill all those people. He considers them [[Deviation]]s that must be cleansed from the Snapshot so that it can keep going. He reveals a plan to kill a bunch of children with peanut allergies in a few days. Chaz comes up from behind and shoots the Photographer, and Davis then puts his own plan into action to kill Chaz using a gun from a nearby gang shootout. Chaz has been sleeping with his ex-wife in the Snapshot while he plays with his son. At the last minute, Davis decides that he needs to start a new life without his ex-wife, and does not shoot Chaz.
