Inhibited Words

"Ink holds still and refuses to create words"
Restrained and immovable, it looms over actions. Ink holds still and refuses to create words.  An affront to the story, a halt to the exposition. Characters not brought about to act upon a stage. Desires never felt or acted upon during the growing push towards the apex of a journey. Dreams will crumple before sleep is scribed. There will be no elegance in the unrefined endeavors of a protagonist while action rises. No heartless delineation of an antagonist when the climax is in sight.  Unwritten acts of courage, honor, friendships, and love; shall never see full beauty or vigor in a plot. Stillness with a loss of conflict. Emptiness where there should exist dwindling action. A resolution never thought. No right holds a story from emergence.
