My Purple Pen

Class prompt: Write about your pen.
My purple pen, let’s call her Paula, is one of four with turquoise, pink, and lime green. Paula has been around the block. Last Thursday night she had a love affair with neuroanatomy, outlining the rounded inferior and superior colliculi and labeling gyri and sulci of the exterior surface of a human brain. But Paula is never satisfied with just one subject. On the weekend she moved on to Physics to learn the laws of thermodynamics. But the flow of heat required too much work, and the pressure between Paula and physics reached an all time high, resulting in a sudden increase in entropy. Paula couldn’t handle all the chaos with Physics and decided to settle down with her one true love: short stories. The best relationships are simple; just an underline here and a side note there. There’s no demand for memorization, just pure appreciation. Paula and short stories have a lovely relationship. But it won’t last long. Psychology is calling.
