Book Basement Novels & Stories

The warmth flooded my system quickly, which made me sigh in bliss and after that I went to the storeroom. The Veltonne Regional Library was one of the most modest in the country, yet it was a regional repository, so it had one of the largest subway storage facilities of all. The place was as big as four whole blocks, so a novice could easily get lost. However, I knew this place like the back of my hand because my mother had worked as a book curator.

“But begging for his forgiveness means accepting that he is remarrying and will be replacing my mother.” Sophia sighed wearily. “Don't you want him to be happy again?” “And what about me?” “Desiree…” “Thanks for the ride.” Desiree abruptly ended the conversation. “I'll see you later.” Desiree stepped out of Sophia's car and walked across the street. She paused, taking a deep breath as she stood in front of the massive building of Rothschild Group of Industries, located in one of the most expensive and industrial areas of the city. With most of its exterior made of glass, this gray building outshone the surrounding structures.

Finch grumbled as he put the books in a bag and pressed the button that moved a shelf to reveal an elevator. I could hear the music and the sounds of pleasure when the elevator doors opened. It was too low for Hana or Pam to hear, but glancing at Malcolm told me the boy heard it just fine. He’s never been here but knows about it. It’s in this den of pleasure that he was conceived. By what incubus, I may never know, not slut shaming Kyrie, but the woman became a regular at Well Thumbed after I brought her here. “Miss Batista, you asked why we were in a bookstore. Time to find out.” I smiled, putting a hand on the small of Hana’s back to guide her to the elevator.

Nothing had ever made me walk in; I guess I'm a fresh student, so nothing required us to visit the library. "Hello, Lord Lucifer. We would like to have an audience," I sighed as we listened to a voice. "Pull the green book on the second shelf to your left." I obeyed the instructions, shocked as the shelves parted ways, making an entrance, and a door opened leading to a basement. When we got down to the basement, we met Lord Lucifer reading a novel in his hand. "What would you like to talk about, Night Watchers?" "There's something bothering her that she would like to share with you."

Leo looked around the lobby. “Foundation.” Grayson frowned. “You think it’s underground?” Leo nodded slowly. “Most likely.” They walked deeper into the building. The old elevators no longer worked, so they took the stairs. Down. Into the basement. The air grew colder with each step. Finally they reached the bottom. A large storage area stretched across the basement. Old filing cabinets. Broken equipment. Stacks of dusty boxes. Grayson looked around. “This place hasn’t been touched in decades.” Leo walked slowly between the rows of storage shelves.

“Those torn pages, maybe they’ll help you. I have an entire library in the basement, filled with diaries from my years of research. When I tore the pages out myself, I stored them down there. You can check them, but please tell me before taking any book.” He handed me a small key. I took it quickly, stood up in excitement, thanked him with a small bow, and hurried toward the door. I knew he hadn’t personally seen the Grey Wolf, but I could still use the accounts others had given him, like he said, recorded in his diaries. I rushed to the basement door and unlocked it with the key. The moment I opened the door, a sharp, rotting smell rose from the basement, mostly from the decaying books.

My father never kicked her out because she not only became indispensable to the house and to my mother, but also because she knew more than anyone else. “Nothing is going to happen to you, but we have to keep this a secret until I know what the fuck is in there,” I told her, and she nodded. I reached for the button, and out of nowhere, the parquet opened and showed me some stairs that went to some sort of basement. I was surprised and went down. “Be careful, Axel,” Beth said fearfully. I did not understand her fear, so I went downstairs and found another office, one that was dusty but which contained an infinite number of shelves with books of various kinds.

"I was inside the basement of Branson and I found out that there was a book taken from the library." "How are you sure that it is from the library?" I ask. "Have you not noticed that one shelf in the library has one book missing. I mean if you look at the library shelves carefully, there is a number above each shelf. It doesn't signify the number sequence but the total number of books in the shelf. I counted that shelf once and found out that one book was missing. That means only one thing is possible…"

The elevator doors slid open, and I stepped out into the basement. The underground floor was incredibly dark and quiet. There were no windows to let the sunlight inside, and the tall metal bookshelves created a maze of narrow, claustrophobic aisles. The air smelled strongly of old paper and dust, yet I did not mind the gloomy atmosphere. I felt a deep sense of relief because the basement was empty. Evan could not watch me down here, so I finally had some room to breathe. I pushed the metal cart down the main walkway until I found the specific section for the reference books. I parked the cart near the end of a very narrow aisle and picked up the first heavy textbook.

"I am uncertain about how things may turn around in the end. If it goes according to the plan then well, but a smallest ripple can cause a huge disaster." "So do we take that risk?" Ana insisted on him again, as that was the only way to save themselves according to her. "I am not convinced but doing something is far better than to keep quiet and see death approach." Levi sighed, finally agreeing with her. "Let us begin the search in the basement, we may find something." Levi nodded. ****** Time flies quickly. Two days had passed. The couple was still searching for some clue in the basement for time traveling. The basement contained a lot of books. All the books were old and had dark brown co
