A Love of Stories

Mylife began under mountains of blankets. I burrowed in the night with my flickering booklight and a fantasy novel. I didn’t mind the comforters that were slowly roasting me alive or the desire for sleep that sometimes battled for my attention or the booklight that was badly in need of a battery change. I wasn’t really there so none of that could bother me. I had more to worry about from an evil dragon or a wicked witch or a mysterious dark force.
By third grade I had mastered the art of walking and reading. (I’ll admit that before I successfully mastered the skill I walked into walls and tripped over nothing more than a few times.) Wherever I went there was a book by my side. My backpack housed more novels than notebooks — a habit I haven’t quite shaken, even now. When life was boring I had an immediate escape into a world of fantasy and adventure. The “real world” just couldn’t compete.
