Near and Far

Following Flash Fiction, this time it is Near and Far, looking at one object first from a close perspective and then from far away.
I have chosen to look at the details of a fold on a piece of paper-and also the paper in general.

Lots of scrunch marks. The ink lines on the paper uneven, the surface of the line of fold rough and yet soft like the very top layer of a carpet, like the carpet's hairs. If you look even closer, you can almost see that some areas of the paper is turning yellow, from where you hold it.

Far away it all changes, all the lines are as straight and smooth as the edge of the paper.
Choose any straight line, any point on it, and it will always look as 180.000000 degrees on either side.
Everything seems perfect, except for the occasional folded corners.


Just thought, what would it be like to cut a paper in half, so that it becomes 2 very thin A4 pieces.
Anyone who's had experience coming close to that feat, please leave a comment.
