Stepping into the drafty room, I am greeted by the dozens of
rows of books. I do not acknowledge them, but go directly to my chair. With a
sigh, I begin bookkeeping. Two men enter the library and begin talking, but I
barely notice. I am too bored to care.
I really like this one! That would be so much fun to have that many books, although reaching the higher shelves would be an issue. I assume it is located in the library, or is it somewhere else on campus?
ReplyDeleteI love how you entered into this picture and what the person may really be feeling in anticipation of another long day in the library. To some, the library is a place of solace and peace, but the same quiet may mean boredom to others.
ReplyDeleteI completely relate to this scene. When I go somewhere like a library with that many books the rest of the world just disappears. Then at the end the plot twist changed the whole point of the story. I saw it as a plot twist because the story seems to describe a peaceful and relaxing scene and then we discover the narrator is bored.
