I had a lot of trouble doing this challenge and I'm not sure I actually did it. In any case the unvoiced concept is an emotion.

 

Creation

I look down then I look up. I look out the window. I swear at the window. I look at the screen. That does nothing. Maybe the mail has come. I put my shoes on and look in the mailbox. Nothing. I look up at the sky. It is gray and featureless. That must be what my brain looks like. Featureless. Thoughtless. Idealess. I have an idea; maybe I have e-mail. I walk back to the house and look. Nothing.

Why is every other word "look"? I close my eyes so I can't look. I try to figure out exactly what that is supposed to accomplish but can't. I open my eyes. This loo-- seemed so easy before I started. Creating something. How hard could it be. First there is nothing then you make something. Make anything. Whatever you make is a big improvement over nothing.

I pose my fingers over the keyboard. They remain still. This sucks. I look out the window again. This is getting boring. I need to create. It is my job.

It comes to me; I'll create the heavens first. It will need time to expand anyway. As for the rest, well, anything is better than nothing. There won't be anything to compare it to anyway, so it will be fine.
