What the Grass Grew Over

Sit on the turf a while, $N, and try not to see a shape in the grass; you will anyway, everyone does. This leaf was a picture book once, every figure the Book meant to illustrate its stories with, cut into the chalk so the pictures could never be erased by ink or fire. The Binders cut this leaf away not because the pictures were wrong, but because nobody after the first printing could agree what story any of them illustrated, and an illustration nobody can read is worse to them than none at all. When it ran aground here, the grass grew back over most of the lines within a generation, and every figure since has been half a guess. The Glossator walked every ridge on this island trying to match a figure to a story from the Book they still remembered, and failed at every one. What they left at the Nameless Figure is not a note. It is a question about which story goes with which shape, left for whoever comes next to try where they could not.
