| David's library |
David found himself in a belligerent mood, stormily striding to the Library. The entertaining outer façade matched how he viewed
his parents: shallow, fake, and idiotic.
Giving his backpack a big heave-ho, David growled as it
settled next by the leather chair hidden in the corner. The next edition of Lord James St. John was in reach.
As he always, David thumbed a few pages into the book. …hate introductions, hate …hate dedications…

Tossing the inadequate book in nearby trash can, he
decided, Time to terminate this, head
to Starbucks. They have Wi Fi.
Wednesday Words have been a bit of a zig-zag with some delightful bloggers filling in for Delores at Under the Porch Light as she did battle with her computer. Many kudos go to all those who ran the race with Delores.
I agree, even a bad book deserves a more dignified fate than the bin.
ReplyDeleteA book's final resting place should not be a trash bin.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't enjoy all the descriptions of a rotting corpse? What sort of boy is he?
ReplyDeleteI'd say David is a difficult boy who pictures himself superior to the point that if something doesn't meet his standards, he discards it. Taught many boys with this attitude.
DeleteYay for Delores' return.
ReplyDeleteSad that David wouldn't recognise a good book if it rotted in his hands.
He might a bit of rot?
DeleteDavid, David, David. Books do not go in the trash just because you don't like them. Others may enjoy reading them.
ReplyDeleteI had to throw a book away once. I'd purchased it secondhand and it was battered from many readings and literally fell apart in my hands one day. I managed to find another copy many years later, it's still one of my favourite stories. Gypsy Lady by Shirlee Busbee.
Someday, perhaps David will recognize a good book.
DeleteCan always give them away, no need for the trash
ReplyDeleteI know! What's up with that? Little snot
DeleteI do like illustrated stories.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's the book section where he should go.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the delete Susan...widget error. Another fantastic story and great use of the words. Books in the garbage??? Never!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSacrilege!
Deleteahhhhhhhh not the trash, he should have reshelved it for another who WOULD like it. To each his own and all that jazz. :) And Starbucks does have WiFi, lol. I see people w/laptops instead of books all of the time, but I never 'noticed' until I read this... :)
ReplyDeleteHolding a real book in my hands and reading it...that is pleasure.
DeleteDavid is an insensitive snot.
You and Delores are still the Queens of Wednesday Words! You both deserve tiaras!
ReplyDeleteJulie
There are tiaras at Party City...I should head over there.
