Scratch. Scratch. Scratch. A delicate hand maneuvers a pencil as it scratches its lead marks on a blank sheet of loose-leaf paper. Snap. With great force the delicate hand snaps the pencil in two and lays it dead on the paper next to its other half. Snap. Another pencil is broken and laid next to the two. Snap, a third. Six pieces of pencil side by side.
