NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Illustration description: A tired-looking figure, placed in the bottom right and echoed in the top right. Black and white, mostly covered in shadow, light values reversed for the echo in the top left. The figure faces the right, so their profile is clearly visible. They sit amongst what looks like bed covers, wearing a tank top and some kind of loose bottoms. As they pull their long, curly hair back with their right hand, what little can be seen of their expression seems to be completely neutral. The backdrop is alleged to be an image of the fuelling room of an abandoned nuclear reactor, clouded and appearing in pale grey and pastel hues, shades of blue, orange, and yellow accenting the ghostly grey. Finally, the haiku sits top and center in white “Courier Std Bold” font outlined in black. Created in Adobe Photoshop.
