Blind Pear Study

When I first start to feel the pear in the dark the first thing I realize is how cool to the touch is it. Even though it has been sitting out for days, it still holds a temperature that is far colder than the surround air. Everywhere it emits a coolness from it's inner core. I start to further investigate my pear, and I notice how leather it's skin is. It has slight ridges or tiny bumps that melt together to form a slight rough exterior. The skin is surprisingly strong as well, even though is it paper thin. My nail even has a hard time piercing it. The pears roundness starts to come in to my frame of mind. I hold it firmly in my palm and feel the weight of it. Then I start to investigate its grooves and angles. I realize that while in my palm the pear felt very solid and round, when I run my fingers across it the roundness of the object becomes almost an illusion. There are bruises and bumps, mountains and valleys hidden underneath it's surface. The pear doesn't appear round at all now, but more amorphous. Then I move my fingers towards the pear's protrusions. There is a long slender stick coming off of it, which brittle leaves are attached to. They crinkle when I graze them and flake off if I apply too much force. The stem itself feels warm in comparison to the fruit and goes from slender at the base of the pear too much fatter and bumpier the further away. The leaves are rough with rougher edges and feel delicate in death. They don't have a disguising shape, but they are flat as paper and have tendency to curve favorably in one direction. Once again I move back to the fruit itself. They body of the pear underneath the skin feels rotten and squishy, as if it were rotting. The skin however smells sweet, like honey. The leave smell woodsy, but hard to distinguish their smell from the strong honey like smell of the fruit.
