I Shall Not Be Moved Book Novels & Stories

she handed the book back to me as if to rid herself of it. "It's stupid. Everyone has a different journey on this Earth so the advice that's listed it's useless," I found myself trying to put the book back on the shelf but I still couldn't reach. "Ren honey, put the book on there," there was this silver rectangular prism that stood right below my waist. I placed the book on its surface and it immediately vanished from the platform.

Ames set it on the outer table at ten past eight — one cover, one seal, the index lettered across the flap in his own hand: the book by its plain name, the folio the cross-reference gave, the shift beside it. I left the flap alone and took a clean sheet first. MOVEMENT? I wrote. BOTH ENDS? SAME MOVEMENT? Below them, spaced wide so nothing could drift across, three more headings with white under every one. CART. LOAD. HAND.

Steadily I moved, trying to hide the sound of my movements. I managed to take four steps without alerting the old man. Four more steps remained but the man continued to read, completely unaware of another person's presence in his house. My heart pumped so hard it might as well have been drums announcing my presence. Still, the man casually flipped a yellowed and worn page from his semi-decomposed book, things were going as planned. My legs wobbled a little but I clenched my teeth, willing them to move forward. Only two more steps remained. You can do it, Titus!

I reached out, my fingers trembling as they brushed the leather cover. The scent of wildflowers and ozone was so strong it made my head spin. Unlike the other floating books, this one sat heavy and grounded on the pedestal, as if it were the anchor for the entire room. The title was embossed in a regal, ancient script: "How to Mute Your Change's Resonance and How to Detect Another Change." "It’s exactly what the Queens said we needed," Sol whispered, leaning over my shoulder. "A way to move without alerting the Eclipse."

The argument holds without it. When she sends it to Cristina in March, Cristina calls in the afternoon. "The third example," Cristina says. "Yes," Valentina says. "You are writing about yourself more directly than you have before." "The second book requires it," Valentina says. "The first book was about the practice. The second book is about the practice in motion. Motion requires a mover." "You are the mover," Cristina says. "One of them," Valentina says. "You are also the mover. Beatriz. Clara. Every person who was in proximity long enough to catch it."

I said, and Rick nodded as he walked to the center of the room and dropped into a chair. My fingers glide along the books as I read their titles. I pull one out, glance at the first few pages, and then slip it back into its place before continuing. “Hmmm,” I hummed as I squatted to see the books at the bottom. My fingers glide along the books, and my heart stops when I read one of the titles, “How to Reject a Mate and the Consequences that Follow.” Slowly, I pulled the book from its slot and flipped through a few pages.

Even if no one is here aware of our entrance, they shall soon be made aware of the minute they are phoned by the security company. We quickly step outside and make our way back the way that we came. Satisfied that we have not been seen, we regroup. There are two things that are very clear, the Book has been moved, and the holder now knows that we are searching for it. This does mean only one thing; we shall have to get Elloise to help us track the Book, for I fear it shall be moved again. So with much disappointment, we turn down the road to walk back to the car; I still cannot understand how this road can be so awfully dead this time of night. And if the silence is not enough, the skies are

Ishtar had picked up the stone before it hit the ground. ************* Note: Don't forget to like, comment and share the book! This really helps it grow on the platform

“I agree wholeheartedly, Your Grace.” * * * * Lindsay stood next to Barry in front of a clergyman as he read out of the Book of Common Prayer. Her grandmother had told her she’d be nervous today, but Lindsay wasn’t. Excitement ran through her veins, and she couldn’t stop smiling. Love blossomed inside of her, and each new day with Barry would only be an adventure, she was certain.

Not a scratch. Exhausted, we both collapsed to the ground, surrounded by ancient books. When I pulled the book from the flames, I realized it wouldn't leave my hand. It was stuck to my palm. "Micha—" He stepped closer, ready to help, but I shook my head. "Relax. A book can't hurt me." If only I knew. The book began to move on its own. The pages beat like a heart. Heat spread across my palm, burning my skin.
