      …go?

      It goes to lead (and nowadays graphite) heaven where pencil sharpeners and erasers don’t exist and paper never runs out…..

      It goes into the world of deleted words… it sadly joins all those words we didn’t like and they all get together to discuss why they were not good enough…

      Now you imagined it, it makes you feel sad for all those deleted words, no?… 😉

      When enough force is applied the graphite from the pencil will bond with the rubber of your eraser, the rubber is designed so as this happens it falls to pieces letting the parts where the graphite has attached too fall off. So those bits of rubber you blow away is the pencils written word.
