Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence, (aposiopesis), example: "But I thought he was . . ." When placed at the beginning or end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy or longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech or any other form of text, but it is incorrect to use ellipses solely to indicate a pause in speech.
The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (. . .) or a pre-composed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis. The Chicago Manual of Style recommends that an ellipsis be formed by typing three periods, each with a space on both sides.
The triple-dot punctuation mark is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot.

Genres: Action, Short,Luin sun viestisi murheellisen,
kolmeen pisteeseen päättyi se silloin
Aivan kuin sanat puuttuvat sen
ois toivosi viimeinen
Tiedän sen lauseen karun ja viimeisen
"Tää kohtaloo on", sanotaan
Päätepisteessä kaiken oon kuullut sen
Mut sun tarinaan on jatko täydellinen!
Tiedän kohtalon murheellisen
Kolmeen naulaan se päättyi,
mut silloin nousi kuolleista hän
- jokaisen toivo täydellinen!
ain
Niin täydellinen!
