A handwritten note on a dark blue card reads: 'A Man Cut Into Slices, 267 N W Cliff St., Newport, OR 97365' and 'Kirstin Valdez Quade, Creative Writing Program, 450 Jane Stanford Way Bldg. 460, Stanford, CA 94305-2087'. The card features a small American flag sticker with the word 'FREEDOM'. Below the note, a blue book titled 'The Origin of the Consciousness in the Human Brain' by Julian Jaynes is visible, with a quote that says, 'A Murder of Crows Approaches, bearing a message.' The background shows a railing and green foliage.
