The book: By Rhodry




Josef, was into old books, he noticed and bookshop, on side street. In the middle of a busy street. He was all ways looking those books, since you can get books on-line and digitalized. Safed time and and room.

But he all ways wanted the look, the feel, the touch, the smell of it. But those special books, he had a special small library of books in his place.
He noticed a guy. Started bother a old man. For no apparent. Near and old bookshop. He knew that this guy was no really reader, or lover of books. The only paper he liked was the folding kind.
Lucky, Josef, was able to stop him. Before he could do anything to the old man.
That you, young man. He said. How, did you know.
Well its sorta a instincts, know a book lover, when I see them.
I see, he said.
Come, come to my shop, he said. I might have something might be looking for.
Then Josef. Followed the old man. Into his shop. For a small shop, it looked surprisingly larger than it looked.
I'm, I'm surprised its bigger than it was.
Thank you, young man, he said.
How could it looked bigger, than it is on the outside.
I'm sorry, its a trade secret, my friend.
As he wanted to said something more. But he knew he had his secrets. And so did I.
He was looked for a certain book. Before he touched it. He put on a pair of gloves.
Why the gloves. He asked.
These, are special books. That must be handle carefully. He said.
Josef sorta understood. He understood. How and why. He did it.
Then he showed me. The book he wanted, showed him.
Please used gloves this are special books that needs to be handle with care.
As he put on the gloves and started to open the pages they were blank. Then he flipped threw and few other pages.
Why are the blank, he said.
These are special books, they appeared. For its owner. He said.
Why has it appear to you. Josef he asked.
I am the seller, I know what the person wants or needs. I never read a special book. They are the the owners. I know basically what it is.
Do you wanted it, he said.
I looked at it, even the pages were blank, a could sense something special about it. Then I thought, this, this could a book I want.
Then I say, it, much does to do want for it. Josef said.
Consider this a sorta a gift young man.
Josef , he said.
Josef, the old man said, hear to need this, he slip, him it.
As he gave him that slip of paper, Josef, noticed the words appear and imagines appeared too. Them the words and imagines appeared above the pages of the book.
The letters, symbols looks strange. But could understand. As he looked at it.
Then he saw several imagines of girls, he saw several of them. One of them, he took a interest in one of them.
He could swear. He could touch one of them. So he did, as he touch it. The imagine enlarger it. And symbols. Appeared to swirl around in front of him.
Was it started to swirl around him. As the symbols moved faster and faster.
He sitting on the floor. Holding a old book on his bare hands.
Okay honey, looked like your interested like in the book. Felicity give me interested now.
As He said it, I wanted to said I'm not Felicity, Josef said to himself.
Then I remember, I remember being Felicity yesterday, last week, last year. I remember being her. But I remember being Josef too. As he turned to see what he looked like. Oh my, I'm her, she is me.
As he kept taking pictures, of her/me after and hour or so.
Okay it was wrap he say.
I stood up, still hold the book she/I was holding.
Felicity you put it down. Now, he said.
No, I think I'll keep it, if you don't mind. She said.
But why its just a prop, a odd book I follow for the shoot.
I, don't know, but I like I like to keep it.
Okay, I call you for your next shoot , okay he said.
Yes, thank you, I don't but I like it, its special she said smiling.
As she left the photographer, he couldn't understand what was so special about that book.
As she held it to her body. Like it was special, so it was special, really special to her!!!
