Field guide No. 343
Candy rain beneath a black umbrella
Dry everywhere except under it.
In a dark, rainy back garden, a tall grey bird with an enormous bill stands beside a black umbrella that is raining sweets underneath it into a puddle. The umbrella has it the wrong way round.
Field noteUmbrellas keep the rain off, not on. This one rains sweets under itself only.
Also possible, also breaking physics
Autumn in the tree’s shadowShade can cool a lawn, not change its season. Still nothing here argues with itself.
Spore soundsMushrooms will fruit on stranger substrates than vinyl. Not at thirty-three revolutions, though.
Soft impactChrome splashing at a feather’s touch is a materials failure, not a contradiction.
The polite avalancheSnow that stops mid-fall is a physics complaint, not a logical one. Manners, apparently, are optional extras.
