Had this writing assignment for my writing group, and took it quite literally:

Update: I snuck the result of this piece onto the bottom of the "Duke Artwork" page. In my writing group, this piece led to a good discussion on the nature of writing, use of words, and active/passive reading. What do you think? It's not fiction, but writing, and it does convey an image, right?
