The Book Of Lost Worlds

Feb 11th, 2010 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

Robert shifted through the pile of old books. He quietly shone his light from title to title, but had begun to have doubts.

The book had been stolen from him, many years ago. He still remembered the evening he first opened it, and found himself magically transported to the other world.

Here it was! The same blue cover, the same tattered corner worn away by his own fingers.

“You found it,” his wife exclaimed when he brought it home.

Robert slipped it onto a corner of his book shelf.

“Aren’t you going to open it?” she asked.

“Only when necessary.”
