What words can i replace in here?

Question

ok so im doing this assignment where theres a short excerpt from a story. and i need to write a totally different story but using the same format as in the short excerpt.
This is the sentence from the excerpt:

I pulled out the broom and tore out a batch of straws and tossed them into the fire
and watched them smoke, turn black,
blaze, and finally become white wisps of ghosts that vanished.

This is what i have so far:

I picked up the pen and pulled off the cap and laid
the point on the paper
and watched the ink overflow, become black, _______________________________________________.

Please help me find a way to replace those words in the sentence above, and place it in the blank above.

Answer 1

I picked up the pen and pulled off the cap and laid
the point on the paper
and watched the ink overflow, become black,
indelible, and grow into fragile ideas that lived on as words.

Fine, so I'm a bad writer and I strayed from the excerpt...

Answer 2
