The ink bled through the papers as the tip scratched across the surface, forming the sweet nothings I choose to keep for myself.

My lamp flickered and as my hand cast shadows, ink smudging across the paper from the contact of my hand, causing me to mutter profanities as my palm was coloured with the dark blue colour.
