Library, Tuesday

Khadgar's shift started off quietly enough, but after a while he noticed a rustling sound coming from one of the non-fiction sections. He was tempted to just leave whatever was happening alone, but his curiosity got the better of him and when he went to investigate, he found all the books on trees getting a hug from the other books around them.

Khadgar tried to back up without being noticed, but he wasn't fast enough, and one of the books toddled over to his leg and bumped up against his ankle. "Do you, er, still need a hug?" he asked. The book bounced up and down, so Khadgar picked it up and gave it a gentle, uncertain squeeze. The pages fluttered against him and the book, seemingly satisfied, pushed away from him to go back to the shelves.

"No one would ever believe me," he muttered as he headed back to the front of the library.
