Wow, that is quite a trip.

I would have to say that it's interesting, but more than a little unsettling.

I read it, but am still a bit uncertain as to what disturbed him. Was it the fact that the time had passed where he could have changed the outcome of the story? :p

warning: spoilers

that is part of it, and that thereafterwards the only evidence of any crime potentially taking place at all was the photograph. He saw ex-post facto that the crime in the photo that was to occur had already occurred a long time ago and there was nothing he could do about it. He realized that after snapping the photo he might have effected the outcome slightly, but he really only wanted the shot and had no idea it was evidence. No idea the man was most likely a pedophile, that the woman was a co-conspirator to the abduction or anything of that nature. Only when Michel realizes that he could've stopped it does he cry. Partially also I think he might be guilty for indulging in voyeurism under the premise that this was to be a "learning experience" for the boy from an older woman, and that it wasn't originally what it seemed at all.

He no longer trusts his own senses, referring to himself as "dead" with his observations being that the cloudy or clear sky he sees out his window are merely an illusion, that the bird he sees may be a pidgeon or a sparrow, and whatnot. It is possible that because he tells the story in hindsight, and of making note to being "dead", that he might have actually been institutionalized due to the trauma, and is recalling the story as if speaking to a doctor or therapist. He makes reference to wanting to get it over with because he is hungry now like he was on the 7th, implying that he's being requested to retell the story in exchange for a meal.

Ah. I wasn't sure what to make of the old man in the car. Originally, I thought that maybe the kid was being forced into a marriage against his will, or maybe that the woman and the man were planning to abduct him and hold him for ransom. Looking back over it, it makes more sense now. An interesting story to say the least.
