The Receiver

Strange Room

(We finally reached 30 chapters!! I also decided to stop putting Noah narration, in the beginning unless we switch to Amelia Perspective it won't be shown)

It was unlike his own family unit's dwelling. Furniture was standard throughout the community: practical,sturdy, the function of each piece clearly defined. A bed for sleeping, A table for eating and A desk for studying.

All of those things were in this spacious room, each was slightly different from those in his own dwelling.

The fabrics on the upholstered chairs and sofa were slightly thicker and more luxurious; the table legs were slender and curved instead of straight. With a small carved decoration on the foot.

The bed in a alcove at the far end of the room, was draped with a splendid cloth embroidered over its entire surface with intricate designs.

But the most conspicuous difference was the books. In his own dwelling there were the necessary references volumes that each household contained: a dictionary, thick community volume which contained descriptions of every office,factory,building and committee. And the book of rules.

The books in his own dwelling were the only books I have ever seen. I never knew such books existed.

But this room's wall were completely covered by bookcases, filled which reached to the ceiling. There must have been hundreds of books.

I can't imagine what the pages contained. Could there be rules beyond the rules governed the community? Couple there be more descriptions of office's and factories and committee?

I only had a couple minutes to look around before I was interrupted with a man sitting in a chair beside the table watching him. Pretending to cough to draw his attention
