A Walk In The Park Book Review Novels & Stories

Honestly, I could not ask for a nicer day. As I enter the park, I can see a maze made out of shrubbery with benches scattered selectively throughout it. That looks like a great place to go to read a book sometime. There is a small creek that runs along the far side of the park and kids are running around with their parents keeping watch. Overall, it is a nice and peaceful park that I would not mind getting lost in for a while.

Then left before the conversation could continue. Back inside his office, the wrapped book still sat on his desk. Waiting. Walter picked it up. His thumb brushed the edge of the paper. The same way it had brushed the novel cover in her bookstore. Outside, Manhattan stretched endlessly beneath the afternoon sun. Millions of people. Millions of stories. Yet somehow one bookstore assistant had managed to do what investors, executives, and rivals never could. She had made him look inward. Walter stared at the skyline. Then at the book.

We end up walking to a small park a few blocks away, one of those neighborhood green spaces with walking paths and benches and kids playing on a jungle gym. The air is crisp and cool and I breathe it in deep, filling my lungs with something that isn’t the stale recycled air of the apartment. Jeremy walks beside me with his hands in his jacket pockets, not saying much, just letting me set the pace and the direction. We pass a woman walking a dog, an older couple sitting on a bench feeding birds, a teenager on a skateboard trying to land some trick over and over. Normal people doing normal things. For a moment I let myself pretend I’m one of them, just a woman out for a walk on a nice day, no

“It’s where the elderly can hear the laughter of children and see them play. The adults can forget about their daily troubles and get some fresh air. Going to a park is a ritual for many people who want to take some stress out of their lives. “And here you are… trying to burn a park that’s been built with the sweat and blood of those who collected all kinds of jasmine species from around the world. Just what kind of a wicked heart must you two have for you to be sitting here, drinking wine as you wait to watch the flames that could have risen from the park had I not been there?” Gabe picked up the emptied wine glass. “Do you have something against the park? Or the new owner of the park, Adri

I was their property, and I couldn’t forget that. The park was just a few minutes from the city’s central mall and I stopped the chauffer from taking the busier front entrance and instead decided to walk down the few blocks by myself. To my relief the men didn’t follow me, and I could FINALLY have time to myself. The kitten heels I wore made slight clicking sounds as I walked down the pavement, towards the park’s entrance. It was late afternoon by now and I could see several families enjoying their times together. It reminded me of my father and a sense of sadness filled me.

But honestly, seeing her was such a great blast from the past. I took a big breath of fresh air and let my shoes carry me over the pavement towards the park. The park was beautiful in early spring. Cold, yes. And not too much green. And it was still relatively light outside in the early evening. The scent of snow of melting winter and the expectation of spring was looming. And I wasn't cold. My nostrils flared at the teasing fragrance of flowers just beneath the surface of the gardens, set to pop out and bloom over the next month. It was peaceful here and I felt at ease. My feet carried me as my thoughts wandered.

Ok, Riley, you are a mature, graceful, dignified woman, you are beautiful, you are pretty, you are respectful, you are not crazy and embarrassing at all. Ugh, who am I kidding? Huffing, I picked up my purse walking out of the back place, looks like Ryder and Nico have left since I couldn't see them anywhere. I looked around once more, and inhaled in the crisp soil and cement air in. The air felt so fresh and lively, I wanted to live here forever. This smelt of fresh new book, like the road after rain, like a newly cemented wall, like soil, like nature and I loved it. I picked up my purse and made my way towards the exit. But my feet planted itself on the ground and refused to move. It felt l

"He's coming, but, when I can't tell you." Dreading the next few days couldn't happen. I had to be calm. Getting the packs together was going to be hard. We were the biggest pack in America. We stayed in the HOH Rainforest of Washington State. Seattle was a little over four hours away. There was also Port Angeles and Oylimpia. Near us stood Mt. Olympus. Not the one in Greece, but the same name. Suddenly I froze. "There's no way. Is there?" Hercules said startled. "It has to be a coincidence. They were named many years apart "

The rats of sunlight filled the entire surroundings with warmth and I looked up at the blue skies with only a few white fluffy-looking clouds in sight. Perhaps i could take a walk? I hadn’t explored all of the Pack due to my work schedule. And even when Simon gave me a day off I had stayed in my room all day instead. Fueled with confidence, i set off towards the direction of the park, picking it as my starting point. The park was beautiful; I relished in watching families play in the sun as I walked past. It was slow walking as my feet hurt, even though I had barely done anything today.

Kendra sat in the library with the book, The Hobbit, opened on her lap. When Rex had first shown the room that was lined with books to her, she’d been both intimidated and overwhelmed.
