Heathcliff sits atop a stack of garbage cans, piled high. He holds his hand to his ear, struggling to hear a sanitation worker standing by a garbage truck down on the ground. The sanitation worker says "I said, 'I don't like you very much.'"

seeing talk about un reviewed GRFP applications. super disappointing. when i applied during undergrad (2023) i had one reviewer who clearly didn't read my material. put a single period in each review box and scored me straight middle-of-the-road. don't know how common this was at the time. ๐Ÿงช

Heathcliff leaps into the air, holding two buns out in front of him. He's chasing a group of birds, who fly away from him. Two men watch from a park bench, and one of them says "He's trying to make a sandwich."
