*Walks you in* Please, have a seat. You may recline or lay down if you wish to.

*Sits down in a hanging swing in front of you*

*You look around. The library is full of bookshelves with books lining the walls. There are some books that are thin, but you can see some that are pretty long. There are papers scattered in a few places here and there. There is a large spiral staircase that leads up towards the sky. The floor you're in appeared to be made of wood, for there are wood-like designs that made this place feel like you're inside of a tree. There are plants atop the bookshelves, resting there with flowers scattered in to add color to the place.*

*Chuckles* I take it you like this place? It's the best I can do. You don't have to look very far or up.

You don't have to be so stiff. You can relax here if you wish to. You don't need to scrutinize the place. It's good to let your imagination flow ever now and again. Just don't overdo it and neglect your health, okay? It will still be here even after I'm gone. Promise me?

*You nod*

Good. *Smiles* I take it that you're interested or curious as to what these stories hold, correct?

*You nod your head.*

I see... However, I must tell you something before you begin.

*Takes a deep breath and frowned* Some of these stories... They never had their proper ones written. Some of them have their summaries lost even... I can count a handful that were lost due to negligence or... *Pauses* ... It's alright. They... were good stories, but I wasn't able to save them... What you'll be able to read are the ones that I've managed to save and salvaged as much as I could. Just... Don't be too harsh on it, okay? Some parts are... not the best...

*You're confused as to why, but nodded reluctantly*

I'll let you have free reign to roam the library shortly. But there are a few things I'd like to ask. You don't have to answer. I'm just rather curious.

How did you find this anyways?

Was it really just out of curiosity, or do you intend to use the ideas there? *Raises hands up hurriedly after saying that* No! I'm not mad. I actually don't mind it at all. Though, you will have to ask the others who... probably don't share the same views as me. Heck, maybe even better... Anyways, I'm getting off topic.

Did you enjoy reading my other stories before this?

*After answering (or not answering) the questions, you ask why and what for*

"Why", you ask? Is it a crime to get to know your readers a bit? I also enjoy it when I take the time to read from you. The way you interact with me and the others always warms my heart. Though, if I accidentally said something harsh, then please forgive me. I sometimes tend to speak what's in my heart rather than logic.

*You smile*

Anyways, I think that should be it. Oh! If you happen to see something that says "INFO" with the title of a story, then it would probably for the better if you read that too. It would probably help you understand the story better.

*Gets up* Anyways, I'll be taking my leave now. I am counting on you to place the books back where they were before after reading, alright? If you need to get the ones from the high-shelf, just wave your hand and it will come down to you. They're all in order. From the oldest story I have to the newer ones. I hope the library entertained you. I'll be going now. Oh! And do not lose the key. You know where to find me.

*Bows and leaves*

*You decided to go to the first shelf on the bottom floor. There were stacks of papers that were too messy to even read. The paper looked old, from the slight yellow discoloration and small rips that you can see. There were a few books there. There were papers with titles all over them, but not a single line of story made. Looks like they were abandoned before it even started. Or they were, but then they lost inspiration. You continued to look through one, and found one with a written story. It looked like there as an idea in there, but it wasn't pulled through. You decided to read it anyways. They gave you permission to look as long as you're careful with the papers and books.*

*You read the first title. And it said;"Corrupted Flower" ...*
