Pocketbook Holders Novels & Stories

Mia checked and double-checked her handbag to make sure she had everything she’d need for her first day at The Playbook. She had her pocket-sized portfolio, her wallet, apartment keys, phone, and mints, plus all the rest of the crap that filled her handbag like tampons and old shopping receipts, and tissues.

Nasa wallet kaya? Bumitaw ang isang kamay niya sa manibela upang kapain ang pitaka sa bulsa ng suot na tailored pants. Nakakapanliit ang makapal na bungkos ng perang papel na nagsisiksikan sa loob ng black leather wallet. Kay raming pera ni Monsour, ngunit hindi naman nito nagagawang bilhin ang kaligayahan na ubod nang ilap...!

Lynn asked, his voice raspy from disuse and tension. The man ignored the question. "Empty your pockets. Everything." He held out a small duffel bag. A cold knot tightened in Lynn's stomach. He complied, his movements slow. He had little on him: the keycard to his old apartment—a useless relic, the few dollars he'd managed to hide, a worn sketchbook, a pencil. He dropped it all into the duffel bag. It felt like shedding a skin, a life. The man's eyes fell on the music player, still clutched in Lynn's hand. "That too."

said the man with him. “What time is it now?” the man asked, looking at the cover of his black notebook. 21:21 written in golden letters on the black leather cover turned into 21:22. “We still have some time. Let’s grab something to eat,” the man said, dragging the other with him. It was then I noticed that almost everyone roaming on those streets had one such pocket notebook. It was the size of a mobile phone and probably was the phone of Blank Space. Anyway, I had the information I needed.

I whisper to Grant. “No, but you do.” I’m confused. “What? No I don’t. I left everything I own back in the penthouse.” Grant unclasps the plastic buckles on the backpack straps, which I had forgotten I was wearing, and pulls it into his lap. Then he unzips the back. There’s a jumble of different things inside. I see a passport, a cell phone, a bunch of plastic credit cards, some metal tools, some putty, what appears to be a switchblade knife –

Inside was a small leather bag, black, sturdy, and clearly hand-stitched with a silver moon symbol on the flap. I gasped. “Eri…. this is beautiful.” “It has hidden pockets,” she said proudly. “To keep your things safe. You can use it to carry herbs or anything else you might need. It’s also light enough to hide under your uniform jacket and cap.” I hugged it close. “Thank you. I love it.” She smiled, finally happy again. “I wanted to give you something useful, not just pretty.” “This is perfect,” I said honestly. “Everything about it.”

“By the way, if anyone asks, this never happened.” “Got it,” I said. I peered into the drawer. It was mostly empty; just a couple of boxes containing some expensive jewelry and a designer watch. Far in the back, though, tucked right up against the wall, was a small leather pouch. I pulled the pouch out and opened it. It contained a few items—a platinum credit card. A checkbook that looked like it hadn’t been used in ages. The receipts for the other items in the drawer. But there was one folded up piece of paper that caught my eye.

Gideon nodded and he walks around the store and me just following him. He inspected all the bags and even the clothes. I also browse their product with no interest but one wallet caught my attention it is a bright blue folded wallet. It is really simple no designs or whatever. As I look inside the glass case I suddenly recoiled when I saw the price.

Another item was a peculiar fabric pouch that didn't stand out and seemed very basic in its design. When I picked up the pouch and looked inside it, I couldn't see the bottom of it clearly, and as I reached my hand in, I couldn't feel the bottom. I had over half my arm in before I felt the bottom of it, "What is this? Does it use the same magic you find on a carriage to enlarge the space inside?" "That's exactly right. These are normally used for storing a lot of items while you walk around." After he said that, I put it back and kept looking around the store. Towards the back, I found more crystals and among them was the high-rank mana accumulator I was looking for.

A small mirror with a moon etched on its surface. And a thin black book.
