Pick up the thing that is closest to you right now & tell me what it is?

A book.
Lost Connections, Johann Hari.

A coffee mug full of hot coffee.

An airpod case with my airpods in it.

A carton of no eggs.

My computer mouse.

Lipstick

Mosaic silicone coaster set cup Black white it is looks kinda like this

My dinner which is pork with egg noodles and mushroom sauce.

@longgone A carton of no eggs is called an eggsbox or Xbox or something.

Things closest to me include a large coffee mug containing jump drives, a bottle of Elmers Glue, and a big round rock which I’m not sure is a civil war cannonball, or a meteorite, or maybe just a fluke of nature,

My ink pen. As I work on my novels I keep it and index cards handy. Certain facts which could later be contradicted by mistake goes on the cards for quick reference. That way I don’t have to scroll through forty pages to remember how old Becky is supposed to be, or which character is the redhead. Equidistant to my other hand is Mt. Dew.

A sock

Remote control for the television.

My mouse. I’m using my mouse to browse Fluther right now.

A bowl of frosted shredded mini wheats cereal.

Half a glass of beer. I have reached out to lift it a few times already

An empty glass that had water in it.

Guess, you naughty man. What do you think I have in my hand?

A mouse?

@Patty_Melt I’m going to say you have your hand placed on your chest, more specifically, the left side.
You’re doing this because you have a heart of gold & it shines a light on your hand, inspiring it to write works of art!

Boy, I use my tounge perdier than a $50 whore :D

(My best southern belle)
Why sir (suh), you just make my little ol’ heart go pittuh pattuh.
