**The Tea Tin** 
 
 The tin stood amongst the cluttered desk vertically, rising above the other articles, the pens - half of them uncapped, and the papers spread everywhere and entirely disfigured and scared by ink; towering above them all. A light sheen could be seen reflecting tangentially off its side from the over-head lights. It was a calming shade of light green -- one which can be compared only to the lichen which litters an austere pine forest. 
 
 The dented and slightly awry metal cap reflected a distorted version of its whereabouts, the glow of the nearby screen emanating off it on one side and on the other the mid-evening suns rays traveled through a half-blinded window and met. 
 
 Looking at it even now recalls memories of lazy afternoons where I sat with a book and a cup reading by the light of the warm Texas sun, and of studious nights where I lay awake studying by the pale light of a computer monitor where it alone kept me warm and awake. I find myself lost in those memories like I lose myself when the hot steam rises to my face at each sip and I am entranced by the sweet perfume of it. 
 
 One can must describe its soft yet pungent perfume in synesthesia. It is green, if green were embodied in a single smell. Refreshing, natural; it is a spring rain and an exotic forest. It is no mere smell, it is much more than that -- you feel it, you see the leaves dripping of water, you hear the insects chirping and the forest buzzing, you taste the pure unadulterated taste of human absence.
