[ WP ] Describe an object within five feet of you in as much detail as possible .

This veteran of my sports bag has been with me for nearly half my life. Given to me at the first day of sport at school, we have been together ever since. Every race, every boxing match, every exam, he has been through them with me. Every mile I have travelled he was there. 
 
 His scarred translucent body living testimony to some of my most vivid memories, the black chevrons almost worn away by being repeatedly thrown out of the boat to shore. A deep graze runs through the lower `` MEL'' where I came of my bicycle at nearly 40mph down a mountain and the grooves are filled with dust from around the world. It's dark black cap is slightly deformed where a girlfriend threw it at my head and missed, and the look on her face when it dented her wall makes me smile when I think about it even now. 
 
 It is my water bottle, and it is irreplaceable.
