The round tables were spread neatly throughout the restaurant, their dark wood blending with the deep red tablecloths. The only bright thing in the room was a small vase at the center of each table, containing a single white daisy. The room was almost empty, a few couples and small families sitting at the tables in the middle of the room, where the light was brightest.  Edika, Miles, and Jen walked into the restaurant, eyes slowly adjusting to the d...

Submitted to Contest #91

Kiana flipped the sign on the door over, from open to closed, and let out a huge sigh of relief. She turned around and started walking through the aisles, running her fingers across the weathered spines of the books. The Kettlefore Library was the oldest library in town, tucked in and neatly hidden between several new and updated buildings that had been added over the years.

Author bio

Howdy! I’m Loxie, and I’m an aspiring author. I love reading, music, fireworks, and toasters (but not toast). I am a proud Slytherin and was once bitten by a troll. My future plans for life include getting a giant library of my own, becoming a pirate, and moving to Middle Earth.
