"Ninety-five. Too short. One hundred fifteen. Too long. One hundred five. Getting warmer. One hundred nine. Colder. Okay, here it is. A Girl and a Dog. One hundred pages." Jane walked up and down the shelves, half looking at the titles, half looking at nothing. "Here's another one," Emily called over to her in a loud whisper. "A horse of Her Own. Exactly one hundred pages. Do want it? Or do you want A Girl and a Dog instead?" Jane shook her head. "It sounds like a children's book." "It looks like a short book. Okay, here's another one. One hundred and three pages. There's a dog on the cover too."

"No, you don't understand. I need you to TYPE two thousand copies." My jaw dropped. "Each paper must be fifty page long, Times New Romans, font size 11, 12, and so on. Keep increasing the font size for each paper and use a different font for each letter. I need it delivered unfailingly to me by the end of today." What?! "B... But Mr Winston. Sir!" He was sitting back at his seat now and focusing on his computer, paying me no heed. He.. he wanted me to TYPE TWO THOUSAND copies of the SAME 50 PAGED letter?!

"Say that again." "An appointment book is dated on every page. The pages either side of a gap still carry their dates, and the gap between them is a number, and a number is a fact." I turned the book round and put my finger on the last surviving entry before the cut, and then on the first surviving entry after it. "Whoever cut those pages could remove what was written. They could not remove the size of the hole." He looked. I watched him do the arithmetic and I watched his face change while he did it.

“Feels like I’m not getting the whole package or so. The feeling of turning each page and… the smell of the book. The, no ads popping policy..” He nodded negatively and stared at me “Okay?” I hummed having an idea. “Fine, you can have the book but on one condition.” I said. “seriously?” he asked with a disbelief look. “Yeah. 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72…” “25 pages.” He cut me off.

let me know what you think of the story so far! Also, the first act (this story) will have 17 Chapters :)

She typed the last sentence, read it back once, and then sat for a long time looking at the screen. Two hundred and thirty-one pages. Ten months of events and observation and feeling, shaped into something that had a beginning and a middle and an end, a through-line from a waiting room that smelled like fresh paint and old money to a kitchen table on a May morning after a wedding in a garden where someone had planted flowers that came back every year.

“I thought we would only shake hands.” “I don't.” Of course he doesn't. My gaze scans through the paper, twenty-seven pages. My head shoots up. “Twenty-seven pages!” His expression doesn't change. I shake my head, refusing to believe this. “Who writes twenty-seven pages for a fake marriage?” “My lawyers.” “Your lawyers need hobbies.” A muscle tics in his jaw. “They are well paid.” I continue flipping through the pages: confidentiality, public appearance, living arrangements, financial responsibility, medical restrictions, non-disclosure clauses, emergency procedures.

My cheeks flamed at the memory of yesterday’s disaster. I stared at the book. The thing must have held over a thousand pages. How many rules were in there?! It would take months to get through all of them. Well great. Hopefully before then I’d be back home, putting this whole experience strictly behind me and boycotting all fantasy books and novels.

We finished it at 11pm. Not dramatically. Not with the specific weight of ceremony that completions sometimes carried. Kael put down his pen and I put down mine and the third section of the Map was done and we both looked at it for a moment in the study light and neither of us said anything because there was not a word that was the right size for what we were looking at. Eleven pages in the framework document. Eighteen items in the third section. Forty-seven in the first. Eleven dissolved.
