PARAGRAPH- 1
Lost in the shadows of the shelves, I almost fall off the ladder. I’m exactly halfway up.
The floor of the bookstore is far below, the surface of a planet I’ve left behind. The tops of the shelves loom high above. It’s dark up there – books are huddled together, not letting any light through. The air might be thinner, too. I think I see a bat. I’m holding on for dear life, one hand on the ladder, the other on a shelf, fingers pressed white.

PARAGRAPH- 12
Inside: imagine the shape and volume of a normal bookstore turned on its side. This
place was absurdly narrow and dizzyingly tall. The shelves went all the way up, fading
smoothly into the shadows as if they might just go on forever. Shelves were packed so close together it felt like I was standing at the border of a forest – an old Transylvanian moonlight’s reach. There were ladders that clung to the shelves and rolled side to side, stretching up ominously into the gloom. I stuck to the front half of the store, where bright midday light pressed in.
