Creative Writing Prompt - The Object

At creative writing last night we each picked a random object (without looking) from a box our tutor bought with him.  Then we had about ten minutes to write something about the object's owner, which included the object.  This is mine.  I might do something more with it, I'm sort of toying with the idea.

The Enigma

He is a bit of a mystery - and that's the way he likes it.  He's a bit different - a bit unusual.  That's what people think about him or at least those that get close enough.  To everyone else he's just a regular guy.  Friendly, helpful, unremarkable really.  He likes that view of him too but not as much as he likes being a mystery.  But then there aren't many people who get close enough to notice the silver cufflinks shaped like question marks.  And fewer still who realise just what they mean.
