Drabble Version
Books are Worlds
I jumped out of my car, and ran into the store. I love Barnes and Noble! I thought.
Marching straight over to the young adult section, I scoured the shelves until I found the book I had been looking for. Finding it, I grabbed a copy and hugged it to my chest. Finally, I can read the book I've been waiting months for!
Smiling to myself, I walked out of the store holding my new world to enjoy. I knew it was only a matter of time until it sucked me in.
Ten minutes and twelve seconds later, it did.
Books are Worlds
She read, and found new worlds.
Author's Note: While not directly a true story, I love Barnes and Noble and I am sure I have acted something out similar to these stories at some point. Part of my favorite thing about reading is finding myself immersed in new worlds, and I wanted to try to capture what that feels like to me: the excitement of finding a new book and getting lost in it. I wanted my second story to be a six-word story because I have always found them fun, and I think if done right they can have a big impact.
Hi Tyler! This is the first microfiction story I have read this semester, so that was cool! I can definitely relate to the exciting feeling of picking out a new book, although as I have gotten older, that has happened less and less (sadly). Hopefully, kids these days will have a chance to return to bookstores without the COVID concerns sometime this year.
ReplyDeleteHello Tyler! I really enjoyed your micro fiction story. It was interesting to read and even cooler that it applies to your life. Like you, I love to read as well. I am more into reading non-fiction books that are very factual, typically about science related concepts. I'd be interested to hear about what kind of books you enjoy reading.
