›Desperately Seeking Pen

I have this pen…or should I said HAD a pen. The gel came out in thick lines that flowed evenly across my paper. I used it all the time to fill out forms and important documents because it looked so good.

Today I was using the pen to complete some paperwork for my practicum. The bell rang. I went to lunch and then came back to my next class. I reached to grab my pen which I had carefully placed under my keyboard to avoid theft or rolling onto the floor. It was not there.

I searched everywhere…my purse, behind my computer, the floor, in the stacks of paper that I have yet to grade, my filling cabinet, even the trash. It is gone. Where would it have gone? Did someone steal it. Why?

Now, I am left with my other pens which I don’t like because the are either the wrong color or the ink skips. I soon will have to go to the store and buy me another one. Do I get the same kind or are there better pens to use?
