The Unspent Line
A chalk reel that has marked a thousand straight courses and still winds back full.
The cord is finer than hair and carries white dust without shedding it in the hand. Snap it against stone and it leaves one hard, clean line; wind it home and the mark fades from the cord while the little chamber fills again. The case is dented, so every seventh line bears a tiny hook near its end.
