Her Arms

This image shows a page with a red and black checkered pattern overlay. Small sections of text are visible through the pattern, creating a fragmented narrative. In the upper right corner, there's a simple illustration of a lit cigarette with curling smoke. The overall effect is striking, with the bold colors and pattern contrasting against the visible text
