Two pink cards with typewritten text. The first reads, “I will take your thoughts and make them into something more permanent by writing them down. Others, who do not know you, will find them in years to come and wonder at your stupidity.” The word “stupidity” is underlined in red. The second card reads, “She couldn’t keep her eyes off his biro stained fingers. She imagined them unbuttoning her blouse, leaving a blue smudge on the white cotton. She would pretend to be annoyed only hoping it would stain permanently so she could stare at it later and relive the moments that followed.”

Yes, we know he can draw, but update your brain cells – he can definitely write too.
