Three brown square tiles are laid out on a white background. The centre tile is propped up slightly, sitting atop the bottom-right corner of the left tile and the bottom left corner of the right tile. The left tile is slightly angled away from the centre tile; the right is also angled away from the centre tile. A black letter and a black number are etched into each tile. On the left tile is the letter W and the number 4. The centre tile features the letter T and the number 1. The letter F and the number 4 are on the right tile. The tiles are from the board game Scrabble, and they form the acronym WTF.

A high school drama teacher’s lesson about theatre of the mind. In 495 words on The Davis Daily.

The Grim Reaper (also known as Death) stands in frame. The Reaper is wearing a hooded cloak. The hood is pulled over its head. A deep, black shadow hides its face. The Reaper is holding a scythe with a long brown shaft. There's a small chip along the lower edge of the claw-shaped blade. The Reaper’s body is angled to the right but its head is turned to the left. Death waits for somebody.

He’s mustering all of his strength, pushing against mountainous challenges.
