Wilkin's Easel-Mounted Notices Board

A portable pine easel holds a corkboard cluttered with flyers and typed notices, their edges curled from repeated thumbing. The board stands slightly askew on its tripod legs, caught mid-movement when Clare displaces it while shouldering past the door. Its surface shows the warped warping of years of duty, the cork pocked with holes where pins once held what matters—no longer just notices, but a visible record of small rebellions and daily neglect.
