Impossible Figures
...I am reexamining a book titled Adventures with Impossible Figures by Bruno Ernst, pen name of J.A.F. de Rijk. It's on the type of optical illusions in which perception of space changes, as with the well-known Candles and Profiles drawing, or the one of the Old Woman/ Young Woman portrait and others more complicated such as by M.C. Escher. I am wondering how similar effects might be created in short story form. Flash fiction, though a poem would be an impressive feat for the challenge. Thank you in advance for your creativity :)
He snatches the map from my hands.
“Mine!”
We quarry.
“It’s mine!”
I snatch it back and glare at him.
“I’ll walk.”
“No, lets drive. It’s Miles.”
“Oh, hay Miles!”
“Hay? Oh, in the field. Hey.”
“Did you box?”
“Nah, I bottled it.”
“Where?”
“It’s on the rocks.”
He hands me the glasses.
I put them on and read the sign.
“Leo.”
“That’s me. It looks like we’re all here!”
“We’re going to mine.”
“Ore?”
“Copper!”
“...Plain clothes?”
“No. They're quite colourful.”
