Hehe, this might have appropriately been called "The Pen".

I really liked this. The musing over the pen, ink, the writing on the pen; that sounds like the little mindless things I do when I'm brainstorming for a story. And "aesethetics"-e, I LOVE that word, but no one ever uses it! Thank you!

Nicely done.

That is an interesting piece. I like the way you intertwine the description of the pen and the mindless ramblings of passer-bys (I assume its passer-bys).

Excellent work. I like how you render the idea vaguely, as it is appropriate for a symbolic/metaphorical story such as this one. From what I've seen of your work, you are capable of many different styles of writing and in each style you excel magnificently. Keep writing! It will definitely be worth something some day.

Very descriptive and deep- it'll keep me thinking for a while. Very nicely done.

interesting concept. I love to see originality. However, and It could just be me being dense at 430 in the morning, but I'm not sure what the point was in her not finding the piece of paper the next time she went there. Other wise, I like it. I think it was good over all.
