I tap my fingers, slow and rhythmic, against the empty page of my notebook. I watched my hand move my pencil backwards and up, line after line. Each letter traced over with the lead tip vanished from the page until I found myself here. My hand is unoccupied. My HB pencil evaporated into a thin… Continue reading Unwritten
