Drew’s popular face slack with puzzlement that left a few girls that walked by giggling with mirth at his expense. “Either way though,” Clay continued, still moving forward with a light simper on his face, “this is the one. I’m sure of it.” Drew’s footfalls started up behind him, and Clay chuckled at his next words while he made his way to counter where a pretty librarian was waiting for them. Blonde curls a ring of gold around her head while her manicured nails plucked the book from him. “You only read encyclopedias or manuals on chess. How are any of the books you looked at anything like that? They’re fiction?”

“So, for starters you are no longer Abigail” Whiz had produced a thick manilla envelope from a pocket in the side of his chair. He opened it and pulled out a new identification card that had my picture and most of the details were correct, but now I had a new name. “Clara is on her way over here she is going to give you a new hairstyle as well. Most of your background information does not need to change. I find that if I can stick as close to the truth as possible people have a better time absorbing and becoming their new selves.” I don’t know if Whiz could see that I was getting overwhelmed, but he reached over and patted my hand in reassurance. Once I nodded that I was ok he continued.

she explained, her voice tinged with irritation and cringe. "Hold on," Darren said, rushing inside and returning with a book. He frantically flipped through the pages, scanning each one until he stumbled across an image. "Here, Lucas. It looks like this," he said, showing the book to him. Lucas studied the page, his face growing more serious. "I wanna see too," Claire said, moving closer. They lowered the book to let her see. The image depicted a similar mark, accompanied by a description that sent chills down their spines.

Look closer. Her gaze settled on a particularly weathered book tucked away near the corner. Its cover was simple, but a faint embossed design caught the light - a pair of intertwined wolves beneath a crescent moon. The image sent a shiver down her spine, and her fingers tingled as she pulled it from the shelf. She opened it carefully, the pages crackling with age. The script was ornate, the kind that took a moment to decipher, but the accompanying illustrations made her breath catch. Drawings of wolves with hollowed eyes and jagged teeth, their forms twisted and monstrous, filled the margins.

He seemed to have known what I was going to do. "I am confiscating all your books that have anything to do with the Moon Goddess and me!" I pushed him away as he had gotten too close to me. I scampered into his chamber and right there on the table, I saw the big book. Luckily, it was opened to the page of growing wings and soaring high. I was first attracted by the drawings on the page. A lady stood beside a cliff in the first drawing and jumped into the cliff in the second drawing. In the third drawing, she had grown wings while flying back up.

--- 8:17 AM — District Library, Children’s Section The storytime rug was packed—restless feet, knees bent, elbows thrust out. One volunteer sat cross-legged in front of them, holding aloft a locally published book. Figures drawn in crayon spilled across the page. Why We Share the Load, the cover stated, letters somewhat smudged from handling. Every page showed a Clause through a child's world—a lunchbox halved in two, a broom handed from hand to hand, a whispered story read twice to ensure it remained.

She said: I will mention it seriously. She did mention it seriously, in the next call with Clare, who was quiet for a moment and then said: The child drew the events of the book in parallel as they happened? In a portfolio? Clare was quiet again. That is the most remarkable thing I have heard in twenty years of working with books. Let me think about it. Clare thought about it. She came back two weeks later and said: The publisher wants to see the drawings. * * *

Corrian says as we pass a reading nook with oversized bean bag chairs and a shelf full of books no toddler would read. I catch one title, ‘Teeth Are Not for Biting (But Sometimes They Are)’. I raise an eyebrow. “Special how?” He doesn’t answer. We pass a hallway lined with artwork. Crayon drawings, finger paints, but some of them are odd. Red scribbles in circular patterns, shapes that look more like symbols than animals. One has a giant black figure drawn with scratchy lines and tiny words underneath it. I lean closer. ‘The Bad Ones Are Coming.’

He flipped open the book she had just read, which was no longer a boring and tasteless medical book, but a comic book written by Jimmy. Blake was naturally not interested in these childish things, but he continued to flip through them one by one, rubbing his fingers on the pages as if Avery's body temperature and smell were still there. When the book reached the last page, the title page was filled with a short poem: "We watch fish love birds, cats love mice, dinosaurs and frogs, princesses, and princesses, we see meteors fly past, we watch trees bloom, and I cannot wait for you to fall in love with my miracle!"

I rubbed my forehead, unsure of what to do. “Aren’t you going to say anything? Damn, look at this. So romantic and sensual. He imagined both of you when he bought this.” Nicole said, picking up the art book. “The pictures are out of this world, though the gift is strange. Robert Clarke is very thoughtful. I’ll give him that.” “You think?” I mumbled, staring at the picture Nicole showed me, and my eyes glazed over the sensual black-and-white art. It was a drawing of a naked silhouetted man and woman in bed, tangled with the sheets.
