Item description: A realistic greyscale drawing of a bed with plain bedding and a dark headboard filling up the center of the paper. The sheet is contorted and raised by the head, revealing no more than the impression of a humanoid figure splayed underneath, which casts a rounded shadow onto the right side of the headboard.
