A figure artist I know once told me that when she needs to get back to learning the basics, she goes back to eggs, sketching them to learn anew form and shadow and shape. 'An egg a day.' I like that idea.

Writers may not be able to draw eggs, but we can write about them.

Egg #53 : The Work-A-Day Egg

A construction worker takes a hard-boiled egg with him to work. He removes the egg five times from his lunch pail to peel and eat it throughout the day, and each time, he gets interrupted and has to put the egg away again. Describe 5 things the egg has witnessed throughout the day from the egg's point of view, using 2 -3 sentences for each event.
