The pen creates words.
It brings life to characters we create, like the charming one playing with kids.
It also creates characters you hate, while you enjoy the charming character, a group of characters cross by and slit his throat for no reason, just to create Chaos!
A childhood trauma to the kids witnessing the killing, creates characters of kids, a killer, a hero, a comedian, a depressed kid, a selfish, an anxious.
An empire to rise and fall with Philosophises to life.
Aren’t we powerful? The pen? The ink? The brain? And all of the above is dangerous!

You show the dangerous side of the pen’s power, Simon.

So much, characters and conditions, good and bad, can flow from the pen. Yes, it’s a dangerous weapon! Well done.
