The end of words


     He sits at his desk trying hard to be creative, but the only words in his head were those of a time when all he had to do was look at a blank slate and begin. Those words were used up, he thought to himself. Were there any new words, or combinations of words he hadn't used before? Every day he came down the stairs anticipating a day of writing, exploring new ideas and reaching deep inside of himself to find that perfect story. A story that would make the daily paper that so many depended on to start their day. His words are seeping into their heads as they sipped the first cup of coffee. Some would circle his work, so they could return to it when more awake. Every day for the last fifty some years he joined thousands of people for breakfast, now he ate alone. He sat down at his desk and sipped a cup of coffee waiting for the words that would once again join him and so many others for breakfast. I suppose a writer is just like others in most phases of life, but most people don’t realize without words, a writer is speechless both in sound and thought.
