She gazes upon the blank piece of paper, silent.
Void of even a sliver of ideas- of feelings
as each minuscule thought melts-fades… moulds into the dredges of her mind.
Lost to its chambers ever infinite

She gently grasps the delicate page interrupting the slow passage of time,
interfering, barring its forever like cycle…Desperate,
longing for a shiver of passion, for a spark of ingenuity. Wanting…
No. Needing more.Craving for the inspiration lost to life’s trials.375Please respect copyright.PENANA4w7A9WIYul

She brings ink to paper, squeezing the pen, gripping, willing the letters,
trying frantically to materialise them into existence….
The pressure is too much….
Ink splatters staining the sheet.
From the white paper emerges black holes, dark, consuming.
A frustrated sigh emerges from deep within,
each cell of her being screaming it’s release, suddenly free to express its discontent…

A lump forms in the base of her throat, growing, painful and unrelenting.
It boils and bubbles fighting to surface…
she swallows the feeling,
the lumps of scorching coal.
She gathers her wits, taking a final stance, preparing.
Hoping for salvation.

Glancing at the paper she closes her eyes, fearful of being swallowed by the holes so powerful.
She makes her final attempt…
to manifest, create the familiar word that have become so stranger…
375Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cr0mvbnvy
She’s unsuccessful
375Please respect copyright.PENANA6yYMeYMyrS
She screams, releasing the pent up agony…
Long, sharp and shrill.
Each sound becoming closer to the night.
Suddenly, the screams begin to fade,
encompassed by darkness heavy and stifling.

She places the pen down
Leaving only emptiness, lonely and bare.
