Ledger and Stationery on Linen Desk Pad

Indirect morning light reflects off pale walls to fill the space above a wooden workbench near Burao. A thick ledger sits on a textured linen desk pad, its pages worn at the edges. Rows of stationery items, including pens, stamps, and folded papers, align in precise order beside the book. Raindrops streak the nearby window glass, blurring the view of the rainy season outside. Quiet shadows stretch along the wall, revealing the grit of the wooden surface and the rough weave of the linen. Every object rests with deliberate care. A raindrop rests on the lower corner of the window pane, catching the light.
