Is it possible to write a story without words?
Post Body

There's this advice where every story needs to have some kind of text. A character says something, but there is something written that does something, and the story will be about the said character doing stuff.

I know that the nature of the stories can vary, and the text doesn't have to be interesting, it could simply be random words mashed together, etc. And the text doesn't have to be large in font.

But I really want to write stories without words. Something in the lines of "..." or "Abfkgkhahagufu, ddgrrallljfjg" there won't be words, and you can say there's no story, but I really love reading about nothing/void/silence without any kind of text.

Are such stories possible, or will they not be stories?
