Figment Book Novels & Stories

I looked back at the pages of the book, wrapping myself more closely in the gray scarf Oliver had given me for Christmas. However, I was not allowed to return to the land depicted in the story from my book, because I sensed a strangely familiar aura that was getting closer and closer to our property. My first thought was mother, because the structure of the aura was very similar, but a few details did not match. I put the book on the table and lifted the blanket from my lap, setting it aside, before giving Oliver a meaningful look.

The faded gold lettering on the cover read: *The Book of the First Age*. He flipped the heavy parchment pages open to the very final leaf. Inside was a meticulously detailed ink portrait.

Either the most real thing in this place or the most carefully constructed lie I had ever been handed.

But there it was: the bond, thin with the distance but present, the signal coming in. Fig made a sound. I said: I know. I don't know what I know. I know something. Tomorrow: Stellan's situation.

I am going to follow it. She read. She read for a long time. The notebook was not a diary in the continuous sense.

Hundreds of tiny fragments floated into the air. Inside every fragment... a forgotten memory appeared. Adrian saw himself writing beside the White Tree. He saw himself building the Hall of Readers. He saw himself creating the White Book. Then... he saw something impossible. A lonely room. A crying child. And himself... closing a black book. As soon as the book closed... half of his own shadow separated from his body. It stood up. Opened its eyes. And smiled. The vision ended. Adrian staggered backward. The First Reader whispered,

I whisper. This time, the tears don’t feel like weakness. They feel like healing. Like something finally beginning. ************************ Unspoken Desires - Book 3…. Coming Soon

Dee’s eyes went wide with disbelief. “That book is a myth,” Linette said. “It doesn’t exist.” “It does,” I replied. “Covered in spikes, bloody writing, and glittering with gold and black.” Linette’s lashes fluttered. “No… that book was destroyed,” she whispered. “What is it? Some kind of forbidden text or magic?” I asked. “It’s the Book of Fate,” Linette breathed. “Said to have been destroyed centuries ago.

Stone replied after drinking his champagne. Paul and Alexander had decided their child's destiny without consulting them. They didn't know what they both have a different lover. --- Lucy seems aloof to everyone at their school. She seldom stayed around the crowd. She loves reading books at the library with her best friend Eloisa. Eloisa keeps her phone loud inside but the staff inside didn't warn her.

He laid his glasses down on the desk in front of him and rubbed his tired eyes. The crackling of flames could be heard as the city burned all around them. The blood curdling screams of the men in the streets where they died was enough to make the blood of the fiercest warrior run cold, but he was a man of empathy and it hurt him more than it did the others.

“Listen to this. Congratulations my industrious scribe, or scribes. I see you have found the code to mine books, but have you found their traps. My traps are simple, or difficult, it depends on your mind. My books are numbered simply and are nothing more than my personal journals. Merely the ramblings of an old man. They contain no state secrets or rumours, no stories or answers, simply, as I said, musings. For anything else those were kept in my mind and if you are reading this, then my mind is forever closed to you.
