When you first receive one of these Bics,
its shape combined with the message that
it carries will cause you to feel
a certain calming effect, slack if you will.

As time passes, the Bic will take on a greater,
almost spiritual, place in your life.
Eventually you would rather die as a hermite
than express a thought with any other mean.

This Bic will become the central point
and purpose of your existence to the exclusion
of friends and family. Also makes a lovely gift.

Until you lose it.
