The Time I Discovered the Wanderers Library

I remember when I was first introduced to the Wanderer's Library. Oh! Wait you probably haven't heard of the Library. The Wanderer's Library is an inter-dimensional library containing every book ever written in this dimension and almost a hundred other alternate dimensions. It can be accessed from hundreds of points on earth and the other inhabited planets. For each door there is a different way of getting it open such as a pair of trees that make a doorway arch the only way to get through is to be invited by someone else who has gone in the Library before. (Thats how I first got into the Library.)There are also much more difficult ways like this manhole cover in New York City were you have to sacrifice a live chicken to it, but I'm getting of track. I was first told of the Wanderer's Library by a friend I had met in my line of work as a writer. His name was Elijah Garson. He was a writer of weird fiction, and I just loved his work. So I thought to myself why not ask him what caused him to get these wonderful and strange ideas. When I asked him about it he told me that he would be happy to show a fellow writer

He brought me several miles into the local woods. After sometime we came to a large clearing which I thought was quite beautiful, but thats not the point, in the clearing were two trees bent over in a perfect doorway arch. Now I thought it was just the shape of the trees, because he usually writes about doors to other worlds and that reminded me of them. I think Eli must have been guessing what I was thinking and he told me to go and try to put my hand through it. I thought that there was no harm in doing it, so I tried to stick my hand through it and it was stopped, stopped by something that wasn't there. The invisible surface seemed to ripple every time I poked it. After a few minuets I just stood there in disbelief, when Eli saw my slack jawed face he laughed and told me in-between fits of uncontrollable laughter that it was an actual doorway. He continued to tell me that the only way through is to be invited by someone who had already been to the other side. "So, come on in", he said. The moment that he said those words my life changed forever .

When we stepped through the doorway I first of all noticed that we were no longer in the woods outside of town,(I guess I should have expected that.) instead we were standing in a library, the most spectacular library I've ever seen, it had shelves that had to be at least a mile and a half high. I also noticed the creatures that walked around, there was a group of humanoid masses of fire that I recognized as fire elementals, there so many strange other creatures that i recognized from mythology and science-fiction but there were also humans which shocked me just a little. The main lobby was scattered with comfy chairs, couches, and grand victorian desks at which sat men with the most bewildered looks on their faces madly scribbling away in their note books and in the comfy chairs sat perfectly normal people. I asked Eli how many books were in this place he told me that there were at least three copies every book ever written in almost two thousand different dimensions. He told me that this wasn't the main reason he brought me there. He wanted to ask me to join a group called the Serpent's Hand. "Now don't let the name fool you." He said "We are just a group that wishes for the equal rights for magical and paranormal beings who used to live amongst humans." He then proceeded to tell me of the SCP Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition. The SCP foundation (Secure Containment Procedures) according to him is an international group who collects supernatural artifacts,beings,and whole areas of land that display supernatural phenomenon and that they go to any means necessary to keep them contained and hidden from the world so that they can use them for their on selfish gains. The Global Occult Coalition on the other hand will go to any means necessary to destroy object and creatures that would so much as give you a nasty case of the sniffles. He concluded by saying that the Serpent's Hand wants these creature, and artifacts to be free, he told me that of course anything dangerous would be dealt with but the peaceful and safe things they want free. After thinking on it for a couple minuets I respectfully declined for now and I asked if the offer would stay open for long and he answered that it would stay open as long as I needed. I soon after that I got myself a card and a list of locations of the different doorways. Now I am a constant visitor of the Wanderer's Library.
