What are the properties of graphite that can be linked together to form a short story?

Graphite is a gray crystalline form of carbon. Although a solid, it's molecules are able to slide over each other.
For this reason, graphite has two main uses:
- as lubricant in engineering
- as the main ingredient of the 'lead' in pencils.
With a little more expertise, the marks can be controlled to make writing, which is made even easier if the graphite can be wrapped in something we can hold with our hands/fingers, but which doesn't shed its molecules so readily.
Wood would be good.
Graphite is therefore the ideal material for making pencils, where a little friction transfers molecules of graphite to the paper, to make marks of our choice.
So, graphite can be used to write a short story!

-
Graphite's layered structure: The hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms in graphite layers allows for easy sliding over one another, making it an excellent lubricant for machines and pencil writing.
-
Electrical conductivity: Graphite's delocalized electrons make it a good conductor of electricity, making it useful in various applications such as batteries and electronics.
-
High melting point: Graphite has a high melting point of about 3,600°C, allowing it to withstand high temperatures and be used in high-temperature applications like crucibles and refractory materials.

How does the shape of graphite in cast iron affect its properties?
The shape of graphite in cast irons has the following basic forms: (a) Flakes. Graphite flakes have sharp edges which act as stress raisers in tension. This shape makes cast iron low in tensile strength and ductility, but it still has high compressive strength. On the other hand, the flakes also act as vibration dampers, a characteristic important in damping of machine-tool bases and other structures. (b) Nodules. Graphite can form nodules or spheroids when magnesium or cerium is added to the melt. This form has increased ductility, strength, and shock resistance compared to flakes, but the damping ability is reduced. (c) Clusters. Graphite clusters are much like nodules, except that they form from the breakdown of white cast iron upon annealing. Clusters have properties that are basically similar to flakes. (d) Compacted flakes. These are short and thick flakes with rounded edges. This form has properties that are between nodular and flake graphite. © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ. All rights reserved.
What is the word props short for?
The word "props" is short for "properties". Properties is an old word--Shakespeare uses it in A Midsummer Night's Dream with the same meaning.
What does props mean in real estate?
'props' is short for 'properties'.
Can you connect a 2 pole load to 2 single pole breakers?
Yes, but the handles should be linked together so if only one breaker trips (phase to ground short) it will kill both poles of the circuit.

Why are some compounds containing carbon and hydrogen inorganic?
A short quote from the Wikipedia article linked below: An organic compound is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed [in the article linked] below, a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbides, carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon such as diamond and graphite, are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic" and "inorganic" carbon compounds, while "useful in organizing the vast subject of chemistry... is somewhat arbitrary" [citation in linked article below]
Does 'together' have a short g sound?
No, the word "together" does not have a short 'g' sound. It is pronounced with a 'th' sound at the beginning, followed by a short 'uh' sound, and then a 'th' sound again.
