Field guide No. 282
Shopping cart on snail wheels
Express checkout, eventually.
In a wet, empty car park at sunset, a shopping cart rolls on four snails instead of wheels, their trails glinting on the tarmac. It will get there; the shop will be closed.

Wrong side of the hemA needle trailing safety pins is the wrong tool for the job, not a contradiction.
Core audienceAn apple carved into a theatre is fruit sculpture. Small crowds are a matter of casting.

A stamp of deep timeA rubber stamp can print a picture of strata. Printing the strata themselves is the stamp overreaching.
