Story Of The Pencil Novels & Stories

Part of me knew that weather I was there or not wouldn't have changed it but I needed someone to blame, and I couldn't yell at the wolves. I blink at the sound of something snapping. I open my eyes to see the pencil in two, jagged wood staring at me. I drop the broken pencil onto the table and stare at my homework which seemed so pointless suddenly. With a bitter sigh I grab all my books. "Come on, Shana, let's go to bed" I say jerking my head towards my bedroom

"Now Lila, if you would stop blaming me for the things that I have no control over for a few minutes, I'll tell you all that there is to know." ******************************************** FROM PENCILS TO YOU Finally! There's a way out (sighs in relief). Let me know what you think.

"You shouldn't have to." "Maybe not. But I am." I walked over to the table and picked up one of the art pencils Noah had left there. It was a simple graphite pencil, worn down and smudged with charcoal. It felt better in my hand than any of the expensive pens at Moore Crest. "How is Dad?"

I ingore them and I kept drawing in my notepad. That when I felt my pencil was jerked out of my hand. "Hey, how can you drwa now that I got your pencil," I heard Elijah say with a laugh and I just seat there and I open up my bag and grabbed another pencil and I went back to drawing what I was dreaming. I felt someone grabbed my notepad off my desk I was still drawing and I messed up when the notepad moved. When I felt the desk was loose. That was when I licked my lips and took my shot.

his voice was small, almost a whisper. “Yes?” I stroked his hair. “My pencil case is gone.” Oh. It wasn’t a big deal for an adult, but I knew that for a child his age, it could feel like losing his whole little world. That pencil case was my birthday gift to him. It had his favorite dinosaur on it. I smiled, trying to calm him. “Gone how?” Noah shrugged. “When I wanted to write, it wasn’t in my bag. I looked under the desk, in the drawer I couldn’t find it.”

He wanted us to know his story, at least a little of it. “He started doing it the moment I gave him those new crayons,” Eliza whispered as she entered the room with a tray in her hands, nodding her head toward the boxes strewn across the coffee table. Some of the crayons had already been worn down to nubs from the way he was pressing so hard. I swallowed and glanced at Edwin as I took a cup of tea from Aliza. He caught my gaze and gave me a wary look, almost as if he was afraid to find out what sort of horrors the little boy had endured before we had found him.

She grabbed her pencil. She got back to work.

My grip on the pencil tightened, harder and harder, until crack, the sound of the tip of the pencil snapping filled the room. Hissing, I reached for a sharpener. I returned to drawing. A stroke, and then another stroke, I repeated to myself. You can do this. Before, you had already decided to raise the child by yourself. I shut my eyes for a moment, took a breath, then another. When I opened my eyes, I forced my hands to move—forced myself to draw. My pencil continued moving, and the lines were connecting. But without my permission, my mind drifted back.

I thought about writing them down. There was a pencil on my nightstand. I had been doing a drawing before bed, one of the ankylosaurus from the book, working on getting the tail club the right shape, and the pencil was there and the paper was there and writing them down would mean I had them somewhere outside my head, somewhere they couldn't blur or rearrange while I slept. I looked at the pencil.

I guess this somehow brought us together. I remember the day we met. We were leaving Physics I, when I felt a finger tipping my shoulder. I turned myself and saw a straight, golden hair (the kind that was naturally sun-burned and not chemically applied at a fancy salon), and a huge smile showing perfectly white teeth. The owner of such enviable hair reached out her hand in my direction, holding a feathery pink flamingo pen. "It's yours". Of course, of course it was mine. My favorite, indeed. The thing was that, losing pens was my trait. Let them fall, let them disappear, let them be sucked by black holes and travel through galaxies far, far away. Not only pens, but everything, truthfully. Ke
