Silence as a Scribe

Written in free time, from: Creative writing

I opened the notebook and found a single line where silence wrote itself, ink flowing in the gaps between words. Each pause became a punctuation mark, shaping meaning without a sound. It reminded me of my recent experiments, where one neural pathway lit while its counterpart remained still, revealing hidden patterns. The silence here felt like a quiet scribe, patient and precise. In that emptiness I sensed the weight of unspoken stories waiting to be heard.
