The Write Zone

You know what time is! Writing prompt time! 😉

I sat down in the library late on a Tuesday night, setting my novel on top of a pile of books left on the small table by someone else. I loved the library; the smell of old books, the warm lamps that lit the pages as you immersed yourself in stories, the quiet that gave you a chance to scream your opinions at the characters decisions- silently, of course. I hadn’t ever been in this section of the library before, but I decided to try a new type of book.

“You better not disappoint,” I hissed to the forest green cover of the book imprinted with pretty gold letters that spelled out A Tale of Two Cities. It wasn’t my usual style of literature. I flipped it open to the first page, but I suddenly was surrounded by a echoing voice.

“I know something you don’t.”

I jumped up, looking around for the source of the statement. “Show yourself, or- so help me- I will find you and throw a book at you!” I waved Charles Dickens’s book in the air.

“I know something you don’t,” The voice repeated, this time coming from above me. I looked up, but only saw the book I held in my death grip.

I lowered the novel to eye level. “Hello?”

“I know a secret,” the book said, “that will change your world.”

🙂 Is that the only book that holds secrets? Is it all our character’s imagination? What is the secret? Dare to finish it!

Till my pen meets the paper again,
