Hello again everyone, this is another story for Fiftywords challenge which is managed by @jayna. The prompt this week is "book."

The prompt this time is interesting one, and I had many ideas but the idea I decided to use was in my head for a long time, I just didn't find the suitable prompt to write it. So here we go:


Her Shelves

Again, he sneaked into her old library.
He took a random book, and sat on the chair he believed was hers.

He read all the books before, but he'll read them again and again.
Because he might get a clearer image of the woman who died giving birth to him.

The End


What are your thoughts?

There was a saying: "To know a person, know what he reads." I based this story on imagined version of myself.

My real-life mother has a big library of books, I read many of them since I was young (not so much in the recent years) I was thinking if my mother wasn't alive I might've read the books trying to imagine what she was like. Of course, my mother is still alive so it's only "what if" scenario.

If you found any mistake in my english please tell me.
Thanks for reading.
