3rd POV

It was a gloomy, rainy day in the town of Magnolia. Outside, fat raindrops splashed against the ground, creating large puddles. It was a good day to stay inside with a hot drink. The streets were nearly empty, and the people who weren't in their homes were rushing to find shelter, huddled underneath their umbrellas.

Inside a small, cozy bookstore, a small bluenette girl was having some trouble. She had attempted, several times, to place a book up on a shelf where it belonged; however, the shelf was up above her head, and she could not reach it.

"Damn these height issues!" she said to herself fiercely. "If I was just... a couple inches... taller!" She tried once again to place the novel in its spot, but to no avail. Oh, forget this. I'll just get the stepstool.... She shook her head, a bit frustrated with herself, and went in search of the stepstool. It was humiliating to need the stool in order to shelve the books, but at least no one was around to witness it!

The bluenette finally emerged from a dusty storage room, holding the stool victoriously. She marched over to the shelf and climbed up, sliding the slim novel right where it needed to go. Just then, she heard a light dinggg! and realized that someone must have entered her store. She quickly started to descend from the stepstool before she could be spotted, but her foot slipped. She fell backwards, crying out in shock and panic. Oh shit, this is really going to hurt, she thought desperately. When she landed, her head hit the smooth, polished floorboards hard.

The last thing the young girl saw was a pair of feet running towards her. She imagined that a small black cat was flying in the air by the stranger. Then, a fog descended over her mind and she lost consciousness.
