Robot Days

i awake with a purpose.

----------
ok i need help

"What can I do for you?"

i need fine instruments for penciling and inking

"You want to draw in pencil and ink over them."

yes

are mechanical ones the best

"They'll give you a fine and consistent point."

ok what are these designations

"This is the hardness, and this is the diameter of the lead."

ok thank you

i get home and examine the contents of the bag. though the pencil has an intensely satisfying feel to it, i can't escape the thought that i have once again purchased tools that surpass necessity, my actual abilities.
