Z is not the end of the alphabet! – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Writing Sparkle5 Comments

Z is not the end of the alphabet! When people ask me, “if you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?” I tell them, “The Space Between.” I never add any explanation beyond a practiced smile, who would believe me anyway? I’ve been back to the bookstore’s exterior a number of times… Continue reading Z is not the end of the alphabet! – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Unusual The journey from here back into the inner regions of the bookstore seemed arduous, but Olivia had a unique ability to close her eyes and when she opened them again she would be somewhere new. She gripped our hands in hers as she smiled reassuringly before closing her eyes. A strange disembodied feeling washed… Continue reading Unusual – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Racing We were all operating under a feeling that we were racing the shade operative. Quietly we slipped into the open sky section of the bookstore. The dragonfly shaped box had started to hum. We had no idea what the box contained, only that somehow it was going to save us from the croco. The… Continue reading Racing – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Moonlight Whatever part of the bookstore we were in now had an open ceiling. The sky above us was magnificent, but I was shocked to see the moon. We had slipped quietly into night. We knew without speaking that the Croco would nestle in somewhere and sleep now because it doesn’t like the coolness of… Continue reading Moonlight – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Knowledge We were still cautiously following twists and turns in a labyrinth of bookshelves. “Glitter,” I said as I rooted myself to the floor. “Explain now! What is hunting us, and who or what is Cord?” “Hunting us,” she sighed. A look of resignation crossed her face. “If you could have a mythical creature for… Continue reading Knowledge – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Hunt My eyes saw a profile moving across one of the exit points. Glitter saw it too and as the shadow filled the opening she grabbed my hand. Her decision about me solidified; I wasn’t a threat. She turned and ran dragging me behind her. Glancing back a complete darkness had fallen over the octagon… Continue reading Hunt – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Focal Point The shelves were turned to form an octagon shaped space. It was compact and filled with organized clutter. There were four exit points between shelves and I stood at one. Under my feet the carpet showed extensive wear. The other three exits were blocked by stacked books and dusty cobwebs. The space was… Continue reading Focal Point – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Eye-opener Minty greens, pale pinks, powder blues, butter cream yellows, and soft purple beans decorated the inside of the jar. The vinyl chalkboard label on the side read “Caution: Do Not Open.” On closer inspection a faint rustling echoed from the jar paired with a subtle movement. The jar sat on a dusted desk in… Continue reading Eye-Opener – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Commit Before I could move further into this strange bookstore an exasperated voice echoed from behind a row of books. “You can’t keep a fairy in your dollhouse!” The bewitched book forgotten, I stopped to listen. “I don’t KEEP her anywhere. She chooses to live there!” A fairy living in a dollhouse? Who are these… Continue reading Commit – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories

Anomalous Today riding the bus I saw a narrow aged stone building wedged between modernized store fronts. It had the potential to stand out or blend away. The small front window was obscured by internal layers of dust, and the door beside it was an ornate ancient wood with a bronze oval doorknob set in… Continue reading Anomalous – The Space Between Bookstore presented by A to Z 100 word stories
