Fairytale #15
Books are a uniquely portable magic ~ Stephen King
I am a book lover and there is nothing like finding a book where the author weaves words together in a way that you feel swept away in the world they created. It is truly magical.
Today I ask you to write a tale that involves finding a magical book. It could be a book of spells or maybe a porthole to another world. It is your story so write it however you want.
Write your story and then add your link below.
About Anja
Mindlovemisery's Menagerie 
it was old and beat up
just laying there on the sidewalk
the cover was torn and faded
the corners frayed and threadbare
the pages had yellowed
become crisp and delicate with age
there was no name or inscription on the first page
and as I gently turned the pages
the book whispered my name
I knew that wasn’t possible
book can’t talk, after all
but I heard my name again
louder this time
I held the book closer to my face
who are you
I asked
what do you want
look at the date
the book said
with trembling fingers
I flipped to the front
searching for the year
I found it and held my breath
the book was published in 2907
look at the name
whispered the book
I slammed the book shut
and ran my thumb over my name
welcome home
snickered the book
you’ve been lost
for a very long time
