The Smell of Solitude

I'm 25 years old, in between tails, and developing a fetish for medium-nib
black ink fountain pens. They only come in packages with purple
and blue, but I also use the black ones first. The blue ones
I use when necessary, the purple I give along to friends.
I never throw out the black pens, and never keep
the blue after they run down. The lovely thing about fountain
pen ink is how it smells.

"As sickness is the greatest misery, so the greatest misery of sickness, is solitude....Solitude is a torment which is not threatened in Hell itself."
John Donne
