Stimin Library#8

Books

“Exactly how is this possible?” Zahn asked.

“I don’t know. You just touched that Stegosaurus horn and we just landed here.” Mason replied.

“It’s probably magic.”

“No, it’s not possible. Magic isn’t real.”

“You’ve met Stimin. That’s magic.”

“You mean we’ve met Stimin.”

“Yeah.”

“Maybe we should explore here? Zahn suggested.

“Yeah, sure.” Mason nodded, then dashed to a bookshelf, and picked up a book. Zahn followed him, and picked up another book, and she began reading it.

“There’s a drawing of a skeleton in the cover! Let me read this. ‘How I died is because of my sister. She hated me. Is it because I married her boyfriend? I’m not sure. She called me onto the rooftop of her house. I didn’t know what she was up to, so just went there. When I was on the rooftop, so I just stood there and waited for a few minutes. Then my sister......she appeared right behind me, and...... stabbed me on my back with her dagger. Then I fell off the rooftop, and landed with a ‘thud’, and when I opened my eyes, I was here, in the Stimin library. He...... Stimin...... told me that I was dead. I couldn’t believe it. I was dead.’, what kind of story is this? This isn’t like a novel. This feels like it happened in real. It said ‘I was here, in the Stimin library’. It gives me the creeps!”

“Yeah....... I agree. I’ll read another one. Here it goes. ‘......I was so tired, I felt half dead. I couldn’t believe that I lost this. I lost an Olympic. I couldn’t believe it. I was the queen of figure skating. My coach told me, ‘Oh, Emilia, how dare you lose this? How can you fall onto the floor like that twenty times and not even finish one spin? I made you drug so that you can do well, and you fall twenty times? How dare you?’. I felt so helpless. She was the one who made me drug. How can she think it’s all my fault? I got the lowest points. I really wanted to die this time. So I ran up to a 30th floor apartment. I opened the window, and jumped down. Below was a river, and I fell deep in the water. I was dead. I felt free, and when I opened my eyes, I was in the Stimin library. He told me I was dead. I felt so free that time that I yelled hurray. He stared at me as if I was a weirdo, and I told him that I was so happy to be dead. He gave me a book which was filled with empty pages.’ Hey, that’s it?”

“So I think Stimin gave each spirits a book with empty pages, and so they wrote this down?” Zahn guessed.

“I think so. Maybe Stimin is someone who gathers stories? This is a library, by the way.” Mason replied.

“Yeah. So, what do we do to get out of here?” Mason asked.

“But I thought we were supposed to be finding this place?” Zahn shrugged.

“We forgot Matt and Tara.” Mason said.

“Tara probably won’t want to come and we don’t know where Matt is. And we didn’t meet Stimin yet. We got to ask him---”

“Ask him what?” A voice called from behind them. They turned around.

“Stimin!?!?” They cried.

“Yes, it’s me. Ask me what?” He asked again.

“Um......” Zahn hesitated.

“What do you do in this place? Why does all the books say about how people were dead and their lives? Did they write them themselves? Can you use some sort of magic?” Mason asked.
“Mason!” Tara shouted.

“How dare you read my s......I mean books. I never gave you the permission! Which books have you read?” Stimin hollered. Zahn picked up the two books and handed them to Stimin.

“You should better go back to your own world. First, I should erase your memories, because I don’t want these informations to spill.”

“What?” Mason gasped.

“You can do that?” Zahn asked.

“Of course. Now come here!” Stimin yelled at them.

“How many memory are you going to erase?” Zahn asked.

“About fossil and me and my library. Now come on!”

“We won’t let you!” Mason shouted at him.

“Come now, or should I make you?” Stimin threatened.
