Mr.Lindens library
[The book that came back]
by:Amanda Carpio
One day a girl named Adriana wanted to become an illustrator. Adriana told her mom Kim that she wanted to go to the library.
And her mom mumbled as she rolled out of bed at 8:30
AM “I don’t have anytime this week maybe next week Adriana,”.
“You’re crushing my dreams of being an illustrator! Fine, then i’ll go to the library by myself,” Adriana said in a very frustrated and whiny way.
So Adriana went to bed and in the morning she brushed her teeth as quick as she could and got a purple top with jeans and headed to the library. Adriana arrived at the library and was looking around for something inspirational when she found the famous author section she was amazed by all the interesting books.
Up came the librarian and she said, “What are you looking for my dear?”
Adriana whispered back “Just an inspirational book. Do you know where the pre-teen books are by any chance?”
The librarian whispered back, “Of course sweet pea. They are at the end of this hall here and I hope you find that special book. TA TA,.”
Adriana replied “Thank you for your help TA TA.,”
so Adriana made her way down the hall making sure she wasn’t missing any good books. She went down the hall and found the pre-teen books. Adriana saw one that looked old and dusty and like it had been read over and over and over again. She thought it must be good and then Adriana turned around and there was a strange man.
He said in the creepiest voice possible, “Stop you imbecile. Do you want to get cursed for life? Put the book down.”
Adriana said “What is your name sir?”
He replied, “My name is Mr.Pigwart isn’t that neat?” Mr.Pigwart said cheerfully.
Adriana said shaky and scared, “I have to go bye.”
Adriana went to go check out the book and went home . She started to notice that the book was moving from place to place by itself. She wasn’t that worried she probably forgot that she moved it from one place to the other.
Adriana went to her mom and said “Mommy the book is moving but I don’t think that its moving by itself because I probably moved it.”
So she left the book on the coffee table for a month or two and saw if it moved on its own. So when she left it on the coffee table and opened it she saw about a one foot vine that came rolling out.
She screamed “MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!.” Kim replied “WHAT WHAT ARE YOU BEING KIDNAPPED IS THE HOUSE ON FIRE?”
Adriana said sarcastically “ yeah mom i’m on fire while being kidnapped.”
Her mom screamed”i’m coming for you Adriana don’t get so burned.” Her mom said.
Adriana replied very frustrated “no mom the book has vines in it and it didn’t have vines in it before you imbecile.”
she replied very dumbfounded “oh i know that hehe yeah definitely”
so Adriana was wondering around the house. Thinking and thinking how those vines got in the book . And then right before her eyes she saw it she saw the vine growing and grabbing hold of a flower pot and smashing it to the ground.
“Why does everything happen to me I have the worst luck ever,” Adriana said very disappointedly.
She just was pacing back and forth trying to figure out why that would happen. And then without noticing she bumped into the wall and it hit her. She knew why the vines were coming out of the garden through those months she has been in the garden a lot so she probably laid vines in the book. And that was very reasonable for her because without books she’s all about the garden.
Adriana said to her mother very relieved “i’ve been in the garden all the time that i left the book i was probably putting vines in there now i know why.”
Adriana’s mother replied sarcastically “Sure honey that’s exactly what happened. Makes perfect sense.” She went to bed and read a chapter or two of the book and put it on the side of her table and went to bed and without noticing the vines grew bigger and bigger and bigger and it strangled her to death and that was the last anybody heard from Adriana. And something or someone came up through the window and said “I TOLD YOU.” and that was Mr. Pigwart.
