BYC's Writers' Club

I slowly opened the large oak door, the intricate designs in the wood a strange, but wonderful feeling to the touch. I looked around wide eyed as I always did in this place, my own sanctuary as I would call it. I walked through the doors, my stance held high as my smile grew wider and wider with each step I took. A small wave to the librarian, a short kind smile as well, then I was off down the many rows of books. Tons of them, big and small, tall and short, fat and thin, all arranged and awaiting me. I had no idea where to start, but figured fiction, as it was my favorite genre, was a good idea. So I headed otwards fantasy's designated row, trying to contain my quick pace and doing my best not to run into bystanders. I stopped suddenly though, making my hair falling into my face. I quickly shoved it out and behind my ear, then turned to my favorite aisle; fantasy. Thousands of books, in many many rows, colorful and different from the next. I gleefully walked down one, running my index finger over the bindings and muttering the strange names under my breath. "Aha, I said, grabbing a book off of the shelf.

I sighed with relief as I held the book to my chest, then opened them again and walked out of the shelves surrounding me. I immediatly walked towards a corner, near the farthest end of the library, where a squat fluffy chair sat under a large window overlooking a park. I bounded over to it, and hopped in, laughing quietly. I gathered my senses and slowly opened the lovely book cover, rifling through the papers. As I came to the opening page, I gently ran my fingers over the paper, loving the very feel of it. I breathed in the scent of the marvelous book, scrunching my knees up in the chair. Then, I began my perilous journey through Panem, joining Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as they strived to keep their very lives as they fought the 10 other contestents of the Hunger Games...
