One evening, after some hours of basketball, three of us were sitting outside 
into the late hours asa college kids do.  Those two were smoking and drinking 
cokes.

Ashok took a drag and blew a peaceful stream of smoke, and said philosophically:

“I am overcome with a sense of ….”

I don’t believe he ever returned to finish that sentence, or even noticed that 
for an instant it had seemed interesting to him to start it.

Nah, it’s the forward slash, marking logical or among literals.
good catch, I experience it as a lack of commitment to a specific term/concept/example... 
wanting the reader to superpose all and draw their own consonance/dissonance therefrom.  
Is this perhaps what you mean by "among literals"?

Following NST, my ellipses tend to be more intended to indicate a pause or to 
indicate that what may look like a sharp tangent is intended to be more of a 
gentle segue (in my mind).   Or maybe too lazy to make the segue smooth with 
actual words?
