It was 8 feet long and had 6 shelves devouring the entire place on the wooden framework. Books sat on the lip of the ledge‚ leaning over as if peering over the end. The torn and tattered exteriors of the fat volumes of paper

I remember‚ as a child‚ my first trip to the carnival. I stood at the entrance‚ my small hand held firmly by a larger one belonging to a much more confident adult‚ as I took in my surroundings. The flashing lights‚ the music and screaming all had me gawking at anything and everything that my eyes happened upon. What caught and kept my attention were the rides that seemed to torture their occupants. It still amazes me that average‚ ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity and security of

The burnt scent of roasted coffee tickled the tip of my nose just seconds before a noise so loud roared in my ear like a fire engine screaming through my bedroom.
