“The thought, still only a concept in his head, sticks like a sharp rock in a shoe. He dances around it in his head, giving shape to other thoughts in its stead. For if he gives the concept structure, to let it solidify into real words and not stay abstract, will surely form it into a Jinx. For if he can continue on with this long enough, he’ll fall asleep and forget in the morning light. Maybe it’ll even stay gone this time.”
–An excerpt from a fic I may or may not write based on how thoughts roll around in my own head
