Ficlets

She pushed through the round glass doors and breathed in the familiar scent of coffee mixed with ink. A smile spread across her face as a giddy feeling spread across her body. She stared at the rows and rows of books waiting to be explored. Her fingers itched at the thought of cracking one open and escaping into its world.

She strode to coffee counter and ordered a vanilla latte. she settled for a while and observed others as they browsed amongst the magazines and self help books. Finally after finishing her drink she slipped into the fiction section.

Her eyes scanned the spines and skimed the titles. She reached out and grabbed a bright blue one and began reading the synopsis. Her interest piqued she begins thumbing through the book. Eventually she decideds not to get caught up and repeats the process with another book. Over and over brushing the surface of worlds and tantilizing herself with bits and pieces of stories. She loses herself and begins to dream.
