Literary Lament (9/100)

I set it down. The pages dog-eared.

Perhaps if I stop the characters will suspend.

The story doesn't have to end. The conclusions never fully satisfy in their finality.

The narratives beyond that second paragraph lie dormant, awaiting the breath of life granted by the full powers of my imagination.

I know those future words exist. Resolutions inscribed long ago by an author aware of the limitations of infinity.

For tonight I'm not ready to let go.

My library, a graveyard of unfinished books.
