Escape of the Pens - Exploration #36

I have begun to notice something peculiar about the items upon my desk. They are just small changes, but I can see a new angle of my lamp, the added tilt in on of my photographs, and the missing pen from my utensil box. I've begun to wonder if they are conspiring against me. Pens have been disappearing from my small box of writing utensils, and I've begun to wonder why. No one enters my room so it's obvious no one is taking them by force.

So I've begun to wonder, are the images of the people reflected in my photographs acting as eyes and ears to signal the red pens when the coast is clear to evacuate the premise? Maybe the lamp is lighting the pathway for those early mornings when the sun can't quite peak in through the blinds.

But then I caught them one day!

My schedule had deviated from it's normal routine due to a cancellation. I had opened up my door and felt a small crunch under my foot. My eyes glanced down and I moved my foot from the obstacle. Surprise, surprise! There was one of my red pens. I knew something had to be up when a 25 pack of red pens had reduced itself down to 5 under the course of a single semester.

My gaze wandered further up and I could see anxiousness from my black lamp. It quickly hobbled into it's previous position and turned away. Ha, like I couldn't hear that ruckus.

So as a tip to all of you, if you're missing pens and there is 0 probable cause for them to have gone missing the truth is they might be trying to runaway from you.
