A Flask

Pippin's threw their 32nd anniversary customer appreciation party tonight. This year they gave away stainless steel flasks. The screw top cap is attached by a swivel to the top of the flask so that you will not lose the cap even in your most drunken stupor. The Pippin's logo is painted on it. That alone will, one day, make it priceless when Pippin's is no more.

It sits beside my computer as I write, the light reflecting off its surface, and casting a long shadow like the nights past.
