Plea to a pencil.

Dear Ultramarine 8200-120(***),

I know we haven't talked much. You've probably been nursing a small hatred for me as you sit amongst the pastels. I know you've watched your compatriots on the bottom row grow smaller while you languish-- unworn, unused and shamefully long. I know I'm the last person you'd want to help.

But I need you. And am willing to resort to bribery.

Maybe you'd like to have a little run? To be the star in a small monochromatic piece? Little Boy Blue, for example. Or, perhaps you'd like a change of scenery? I'd be willing to relocate you to a more reputable neighborhood. Next to the famed Raw Umber 8200-180(**)? Whatever you want.

Just please don't fail me now.

Love, Jessica.
