The Neverending Story Leather Bound Book の小説・ストーリー

“Excuse me?” The woman stared at her for a few more seconds before vanishing inside the store without a word. “Rude,” I muttered under my breath as I leafed through the book again before slamming it close. I was about to place it back on the shelf when I noticed I was holding an old leather-bound volume. The embossed golden letters on the cover read: Grimoire. I let out a little shriek and dropped the item as if it burned me. “Ew, ew, ew!”

The librarian, a wise old man with spectacles perched on his nose, had greeted them warmly and invited them to explore the dusty shelves filled with ancient tomes. As Scarlett's fingers grazed the spines of the books, a particular leather-bound volume caught her eye. Its title, "The Prophecy of the Shifting Stars," called to her with an inexplicable pull. She plucked it from the shelf and dusted off its cover, revealing faded golden letters etched into the leather. Curiosity burned within Scarlett. She opened the book and began to read aloud, her voice barely above a whisper. The words flowed like poetry from her lips, resonating deeply within her soul.

he responded, whipping his head around in my direction. "Okay, check them,” I ordered. I buried my face down and ran my eyes through the books, then I saw one that caught my attention. "Realms of the Shifting Shadows: Tales of Fantasy and Fur"’ was boldly written on the binding of the book. The book has intricate designs of werewolves under a glowing moon. I picked up the book and opened the first page, which had been aged. I couldn't tell how long this must have been here. The first page I opened was blank. This prompted me to open the second page; it was practically empty, just like the first. I continued opening until the fifth page because I was counting the number of pages as I flipped

We never got to see how they lived happily though, but the smile in the last scene after which the The End, flew or swivelled or zoomed in, made it obvious. Nisim did tell me later that The Thief was a short story and short stories ended that way! It was five pages long, much longer than the stories in the book Deuta had gifted me on my eleventh Birthday – Aesop’s Fables – the stories in this book were never more than two pages. And always with a moral at the end. The Thief didn’t have a moral – that was the best part though – I never liked memorizing morals. But the thing was, my brother was calling the longest story I had read till then, a short story! By then, though, I had some idea of a

But I could at least try. I grabbed one of the picture books from the basket at the foot of the rocker, reclining into the cushions with Nik in the bend of my elbow. It was thin and well-loved, well-read in a hundred elementary classrooms before I retired it to private service. On the cover was a gaggle of cartoony Maccabee boys in oversized sandals and superhero smiles, and a blazing oil lamp in the background. “Okay, kid,” I cooed, thumbing the cover open. “Time for a little story. No pressure, but this one’s important. Gotta have that legacy.”

What was he doing there? He gestured to the empty spot beside him. I sat down as he tapped the bed lightly. "This is for you," he said, handing me a book with a worn leather cover. I accepted the book with the worn leather cover. There was no title on the outside, but when I opened it, I saw that it was Tales from the North Land. "You're lending this to me?" I asked. "It's yours," he replied, standing up. "Now you'll stop spending time on your cell phone reading nonsense. Books are better for you."

Liora Vale had always loved the quiet. At twenty-one, she worked the night shift at the old city library. Most people thought the job was boring, but Liora loved being alone with the books after midnight. The tall shelves felt like old friends. One rainy night, while sorting the rare books section, she found a strange leather book hidden behind others. It had no title. When she opened it, the pages glowed softly. Words appeared. Choose a story. Bring him to life. One night only.

"Someone stole my firstborn... and convinced me to spend sixteen years raising the wrong child. I have spent years bleeding for the borders of this territory, believing in the honor of our vanguard, while the truth was being chewed away by moths and traitors." He reached the central shelf and grabbed a massive, iron-bound leather ledger. The book was nearly three feet wide, its spine cracked and peeling from decades of handling. Marcus dragged it from the alcove and slammed it down onto the reading table in the center of the room. The impact sent a shockwave of dust into the air, catching the silver light of Elena's palms and twisting like ghosts in the dark.

And seeing as I’ll be in here till who knows how long, I'd better keep myself busy. I pull the heavy table away from the wall, and it moves away a bit. The book falls to the ground, and I pick it up. The parts of it that was hidden behind the table's leg isn’t dusty. The leather has been marked by the pressure of the table’s leg against it for God knows how long, but asides that, the book is in pretty good condition. On the front of the book is a small note written in the red leather with black ink. “Life is a story. Document every day. From Mom to her precious Salvatore.”
