# A-first · A comet face

## Whole story

Original fiction. Nuri wants a display to show one invented comet mark to someone looking from an agreed tabletop position. One whole blank paper sheet is available in the story; it will stay uncut. Nuri may propose a flat, folded or another communicated arrangement. No idea has been supplied, no sheet has been marked or folded, and nobody has checked a result. The story’s available sheet is not local approval of a learner’s actual materials.
