Mr. Lindens Library

Mr. Lindens Library By:Briana

Jamie was in her room reading. She never cared about anything else but reading, not her family or friends. She spent all her days reading and when she grew up she loved them even more. There was a new book store being built it was called ‘Mr. Lindens Library’. Once it was done Jamie went running she was the first customer there. The storekeeper was there he was waiting for her.

“Why hello Jamie nice to meet you.” Said the shopkeeper with a rough voice.

“How do you know my name?!?!” said Jamie

“I’ve heard about you, the girl who loves to read.”

“Oh….”

“You know, I have the perfect book for you.”

“It’s called….”

“The Growing Book”

“I don’t know maybe I should leave I forgot my money” Lied Jamie

“NO!…. I mean why don’t you have it for free?”

“Well…. Alright.”

Jamie grabbed her book and left. She heard a noise behind her she looked and the store was…. Gone!!! Jamie gasped she was terrified. Jamie walked home but on the way there she thought

“Should I read the book.”

She looked at the book, it looked like a good book.

“Maybe You should” Whispered a voice

“Who said that!?”

No response

“Who are you?!?!”

Again no response

Jamie ran back home she was scared. She had no idea what was happening. Jamie got home and called her husband.

“Jason!!!”

“Yes dear” Said her husband while coming down the stairs. Jamie told him what happened at the bookstore and on the way home with the voice.

“So the store disappeared?” asked Jason

“Yes it just disappeared and left no trace of it like it was never there.”

“Interesting, may I see the book”

“Of course” said Jamie while getting the book

Jason took a look at the book, he saw the title and he was surprised.

“This is The Growing Book!!!!!” yelled Jason

“You shouldn’t read it, people say if you read it even the first word something bad will happen to you.”

“Nothing will happen to me see….”

Jamie grabbed the book and read the first paragraph.

“See nothing happened.”

“Well…. that’s what people say”

“Well they’re wrong and that book was good I’m going to go up to my bedroom and read.”

At that Jamie went up the stairs and read until she fell asleep. Jason was worried still even though nothing happened when Jamie had read the first word of the book so he decided to go up to her room and check on her. Meanwhile vines grew from Jamie’s book, they slowly slithered up and grabbed her. He had warned her about the book but now it was too late . When Jason got up stairs the last he saw of Jamie was when she was wrapped up in vines then she was sucked away and the only thing that Jason saw was the book on Jamie’s bed.
