Chapter Text
The whole world is blurry. Is that Pride and Prejudice written, and next to that, is that The Great Gatsby??
Once the world stopped revolving I took a look around. There are lots and lots of book on various bookshelves. I am in front of the classics section. Around there are a lot of peoples. Strange, I don't remember coming here. Where was I before, I just can't remember anything.
From nearby I saw my favourite book and as I went to pick it up a duplicate kind of thing detached from the book and Suddenly a paper fell from it. I kept the book back on the side and picked that paper, it was brownish, very old piece of paper.
On the paper, in a very beautiful cursive handwriting this was written -" You are free to read as many books as you want and once you are done shout loudly 'skoob evol i' (is that 'i love books' in backward , seriously is that all they can come up with??) and we will pick you back up " . That's it. That's all. Atleast give me a manual or something.
Well soon I started remembering my past life in bits and pieces. It seems like I died and suddenly woke up here. (I wonder if I met God or any other supernatural being). I guess I will know when I do get picked back up. One thing I know for sure, I am gonna take cursive writing classes from the person who wrote that paper as soon as I get back.
Also by now, I noticed something strange (like any of this is normal??), just like with the first book whenever I try to pick any book, a duplicate version gets detached and comes into my hand and when I try to overlap the duplicate version with og book it just gets consumed by it. Well I guess that makes sense, if I go about picking books then other people will be confused seeing a book floating in the air. (Just in case, I haven't already mentioned people here don't seem to notice me . It's like I am invisible to them. And also they can pass through me. (Which is pretty hurtful for my feelings if I am being honest)).
Alright then let's wait and watch(read?? ) how this afterlife surrounded by books is going to be....
