Do our pens like the stories we tell?
The Crush Hundo Edition word for Saturday is Fox.
They say when a tool has been loved and used well for 100 years, it can gain a soul and comes to life in order to better serve the master who has cared for it so well.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. I know only the blue and white porcelain ink well I dip my glass stylus into as I write turns 99 this year and has been in my family a very long time.
I wonder what the deep blue fox girls frolicking through that porcelain forest think of the tales we tell together?
I was trying to decide if I liked this picture or not and whether or not the hip floating a bit too high above the surface was reason enough scrap it and start over when I saw this prompt and decided to use it for an illustration instead.
You can read more of my writing on Amazon and on Medium and follow me on Twitter. I’m an attention whore, so the more you clap, the more I’ll write.
Thanks to Crush Hundo Edition for hosting these 100-word prompts.
