Runs out of ink, take the cartridge out, it's shorter by one pen tip

Edit : or clicky pens. Tip comes in and out

Click pens length are always the same. The tip comes down and the button used to click it gets "longer"

But the tip is part of the pen, yes?

Ultimately this depends on what we are calling a pen. Ink also or no?

And if it no ink, I used to have a pen my dad got me (he was a pen nerd) that was small and your pulled it apart in the middle to make the ink area fine out. So it went from 2-3 inches long to 3-4 inches long. Granted that's the only pen like that I've ever seen

You know the memory get rid of-er in Men in Black? I had a pen that worked like that in high school

I glue a stick to a pen to make a long pen with a custom wooden shaft.

Gotta trim quill pens unless you have metal nibs.

So at the very least, incredibly niche, ancient writing methods do include pens which slowly shrink over time... sometimes.
