“The Never Lonely Lonely Girl”

Dinah used to always worry that she’d end up alone,
Because she struggled to abandon her comfort zone.
Surrounded by books is where she felt right at home,
Many weekend nights spent poring over a new tome.

And while she has friends, she’s no one’s one and only
Despite no significant other, she never feels lonely.
Dinah felt she must be strange, must be mad as a hatter
But eventually she realized, “what the hell does it matter?”

So she loves books!  And how can that be wrong?
Her literary tastes are varied, her comprehension strong.
Humans are well and good, but they will come and go.
A new book, however, is always a loyal n’ loving bedfellow.

Alone but not lonely, as books stay through the ages
If Dinah wants company, she just turns the pages.

“Books, Books, Everywhere”

She finds herself surrounded by books, as far as the eye can see
An ocean of literature, filled with possibility.
Finishing a book can be sad, but a new one is right there
Distracting from life’s problems, giving her a reason to care.

Reality can be pushed away, with the pages filled with text
As she absorbs the written word, trying to guess what’s next.
She’s not sure if she can read them all before the day she’ll die,
But she’s sure at the very least, that she’ll absolutely try.

“The Raindrops on the Window”

Young Chiara Adams puts her book down to watch the rain outside turn from a sprinkle into a downpour, as the droplets collect on her bedroom window.

The smell of rain wafts in even through the closed window, all fresh and cool and clean, while she hears the pitter patter of the rain drop on the roof soothingly…  It’s perfect.

Years later, she’ll think back to how cozy she felt, how nice the combination of the rain and pajamas and a warm room and a good book was… but each time she tries to recreate it, the feelings fresh and idealized in her head, it simply isn’t right…

For whatever reason, it never feels the same.

“Just Another Day”

Caitlin Carpenter could feel the monster reading over her shoulder, almost STEALING the words off the page with its glare, but she refuses to give in… as soon as she turns around and acknowledges the monster’s presence, it will eat her.

She won’t let some words-stealing monster dictate HER fate.

Caitlin had planned to read all day today next to her trusty lamp-droid, and that is exactly what she is gonna do… she had no plans to live in fear of a warehouse-sized monster peering into her windows, and she wasn’t going to fit it into her packed reading schedule.

To her, this was just another day.

CLICK HERE to read Yesterday’s Doodle!

Burke never knew why, but for some reason reading was just more enjoyable late at night, when he knows he should be asleep for school the next day, secretly laying at the foot of his bed with his Lamp-Droid shining it’s soft blue night-light on the pages.

Opening his Time/Life “Mysteries of the World” book that he found in the bargain bin at the used bookstore, he reads the note written on the inside cover to whoever the book was originally purchased for:

“Jason, happy birthday!  I love you— Grandma.  March, 1979”

He stares at the quickly scribbled note, and imagines the other boy reading this same book after excitedly tearing off the birthday wrapping paper… Burke wonders where Jason is now; Is his grandma alive?  Why would Jason give this book up?  HOW could he give ANY book up?

Burke inhales the musty old paper as he thumbs through the pages… The words and stories just seemed more alive, more real the later at night and the darker the room was.  The book was a window into a world larger than his small bedroom— unexplained phenomenon, aliens, mysterious disappearances, unsolved murders and robberies, psychics, cryptozoology… there’s so much out there.

As he slowly wakes up in the morning, Burke finds his cheek stuck to a page describing domed vacation homes on the moon that are a certainty by the year 2000. 

Realizing he is late for his bus, he quickly plugs in his depleted Lamp-Droid so he can read more later that night.
