Pencil Lead Fran Heath

For Lyle McNorton, life after university isn't turning out as expected. Everything was supposed to fall into place. Instead, Lyle finds himself unemployed and living alone, writing in hidden places with the pencil he carries in his pocket, waiting for something to happen. When equally directionless ex-girlfriend, Holly, comes back into his life, they find new ways to distract themselves. But what begins as a bit of fun doesn't stay that way for long.
