Reader

“You get to a place eventually. The advanced reading section in the library of living. A place where they no longer stock the story that you’re looking for in paperback. Only leather bound first editions... with no fancy art on the cover. This is where they keep the books that look like they’re about to fall apart first day off the press. This is where they keep the books that don’t mind waiting in the darkness for someone to understand them. This is where they keep the books your parents tell you not to read.

I’ll say it again. This shit isn’t offered in paperback. You’re gonna need a hard cover to write the hard truths. If it doesn’t have a spine, it’s not gonna stand up for itself. You’ll know you’re getting close when the library goes from quiet to silent. You’ll know you’re getting close when every trace of humanity disappears. You’ll know you’re getting close with the titles all sound like the last chapter at the end of the book.

They call this section:

“These Books Are Ready To Burn.”

“The shortest distance between two souls is an open heart.”

“We all have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the next, but I try not to listen to either. People with wings spend too much time in the clouds. I know an old wise-man named Intuition. He keeps his feet on the ground. He always seems to have the answer before I get a chance to ask the question. Spending his days in a dive bar called “The Chance". A small, run down joint, on the road from the mind to the heart. Two hours from nowhere and four hours back. I usually find him when I lose myself, but that doesn’t really make a difference. He always knows the way home....

Anyway,
he'd like me to let you know...

he's been looking for you.”
