The Shiny Mesh Ball

I spotted a round, shiny metal tea strainer resting quietly near an empty mug. I sat very still and watched the kitchen lamp glint across its polished surface before reaching out my hands. It was cool and delightfully smooth. When my fingers brushed the tiny latch, the sphere popped open like a little shell. I gently rolled a stray blueberry from the cutting board into the hollow basket and clicked it shut, holding my new shiny capsule tight.
