A Creative Writing Challenge using the keyword "Pointillistic" ✍️ Short Story

avatar

Let's start this short story by remembering back a few decades when the typists in any office would be banging away on a manual Typewriter. They made such a loud noise that the user often wore headphones to either protect their ears or listen to a "voice recording" of what they were required to type for the Boss. Years later, Technology advances with the invention of the first Dot-Matrix Printers, which slowly gained in popularity in both home and office.

The first version had "9 pins" on the "print head" each pin creating a single dot on the paper. These dots were made very close close together thus creating each letter clearly. The next version was a "24 Pin" Dot-Matrix Printer, which vastly improved the quality of the printed letters. This very clever process of printing could better be described as being pointillistic in the creation of "24 DOTS" of different patterns producing each of the letters.
