An: Okay, so I was really bored and decided to make a random thing to write short little things about random objects. If you have any ideas on what else I should write please leave it in a review. I will get to it as soon as possible.
Fred: As long as I say so!
Me: Grr… that damn creativity of mine, yes Fred, as long as you say so I will write.
Fred: See, I own her everyone! MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: sigh
Disclaimer: Though I doubt I actually need this, this time, I don't own anything.
Pen
How much can you write about a pen? And when writing about a pen what exactly is it that you are suppose to write about the pen? Do you write about the characteristics of a pen? Do you write about the many words that may have been written by that very pen? Or do you give that been human characteristics, make it a real person. What does a pen feel and how could anything want the life of being in someone's hands all the time, doing nothing but writing and writing until its own life span ends.
The truth is, a pen really isn't that much different from a person. They both have a short life (though the pen much shorter than a persons), they dedicate themselves to whatever they are good at, and they all want to be in someone's hands all the time. Pens come in many different colors too, just like people. The biggest difference maybe that the person in a living breathing thing, while the pen, has no need breath.
A pens life is not a happy life, or at least it doesn't seem like a happy life. It has only one use to it, to write and not always interesting things. When it's used up and dry they are just thrown away and never thought of again.
Who ever thinks of that poor little misused pen, the one that may have gotten an author through their first book or a high school student through their first in class essay. Who cares that this pen may have its own feelings and now it's alone to its inevitable future to be thrown into some landfill, or a fire to be burnt to a crisp and never seen again. Who would ever care about something like that?
Maybe someone with an expensive pen cares, but does that really make them any better than the people that just threw their cheap pens away without a second thought? And what makes an expensive pen so much more special than one that you can buy in a pack of twelve for a dollar? Does it really make a difference as long as it writes on paper and the tip can be covered so it doesn't dry out?
Maybe, just maybe pens like the life that they have. Maybe it's their life's ambition to live as a tool for human use. To be used and to be thrown away, because than, well than they have served their purpose.
Of course none of us really know if that is how pens feel, for all we know they don't feel at all. That is what we presume correct?
Just think of one thing the next time you are using a pen: how does that pen feel about how you're using it?
