Experience Writing Halloween Fun Writing Activity for ” Hybrid “

I keep a paper clip on my desk.

My paperclip is crafted  from metal and bone. It feels light and tastes, faintly of celery and when I slide it into place it clicks and snaps against paper and plastic with equal parts of hunger and voraciousness

Sometimes I use my paperclip as a book mark, sometimes I use it to fish the batteries out of my Jeep’s Fob. Sometimes I work it between my fingers and let it snap open and shut against the tip of my finger. Sometimes I put it to my lips and I chew on it, just a nibble when I’m feeling bored, but I do that quickly.

I think if you were to see my paperclip, sitting on top of my book, or marking my page and you thought I wasn’t looking and you picked it up and pulled inside arch towards you, it might give in and allow you to bend it out of shape.

Of course,  it has teeth and I hope you can move quicker then it can when it snaps and crackles back into shape.

But I’m not selfish, go ahead and try it if you see my paperclip sitting unattended, I’m dying to see what happens.
