"Show don't tell."

It sits in my pocket always awaiting its next use.  I can feel its sleek and smooth surface when I finally remove it.  Its rounded figure fits perfectly in the palm of my hand.  As I turn it on, a dim light appears on its surface, demonstrating that it is indeed working.   I can hear its soft clicking as my finger gently brushes against it to manipulate it as I please.  Once I am satisfied, my ears are filled with a pleasant sensation that blocks out the chaos of the world.  Now I am able to escape the distracting sounds around me and let my mind flow more freely.  When I have used it to my satisfaction, I wrap it up and place it back into my pocket where it will stay until I need it again.
