Touch

I touch smooth sides and hard edges leading to even harder corners. The surface is slightly rough as if covered in tiny hairs, and only slightly colder than my own hand. It’s solid, but light, easy to lift, and somewhat soft. Its sides give as I test how much pressure it could stand before breaking. But as my pressure increases, so does its resistance. Some edges are hard, solid. Others open into narrow and shallow crevices. The top is weaker than the sides. It’s also a little rougher in patches, except for a strip, smooth as glass, which follows its weakest point. I’ve found a corner that peels apart. The top folds back easily, but the other two sides hold firm. I don’t feel anything inside. The bottom is rougher. I find two sections that cave in immediately, revealing an inner void. On another corner I feel its smoothness turn into hard ridges, then back to smooth. That strip of more mechanical smoothness is here as well.
