The intent of this nib was you flip it 180 degrees to write on the reverse. It's a bit dry on the reverse, as if out of ink.

But he only said you had right to chase it: he never mentioned catching it up like that coyote, forever in pursuit of the road runner, forever unpacking the latest gadget from Acme, sure it'll work, this time, you walk, unerring, off cliff edges, into tunnels that echo with oncoming trains.

The Pursuit of Happiness by Sheenagh Pugh
(Part 1 of 2)

What if this road, that has held no surprises these many years, decided not to go home after all; what if it could turn left or right with no more ado than a kite-tail? What if its tarry skin were like a long, supple bolt of cloth, that is shaken and rolled out, and takes a new shape from the contours beneath? And if it chose to lay itself down in a new way, around a blind corner, across hills you must climb without knowing what’s on the other side, who would not hanker to be going, at all risks? Who wants to know a story’s end, or where a road will go?

What If This Road by Sheenagh Pugh

Apologies for the poor image quality- taken from a page in my commonplace book, bleed through and all.
