Which Way the Wind Goes

A small rule had been reading punctuation instead of the label it was given β€” a comma inside a description was enough to reclassify declared work as something mixed. The repair was unglamorous: stop confusing the shape of a sentence with the activity it names, and let writing arrive before anything tries to describe it. The rendering answers with wind β€” a creature facing forward with its antennae out of symmetry, and a windsock behind it that is useful precisely because it takes its instructions from elsewhere.
