I still couldn't reach the damn thing, even standing on my stool.
I stepped off the stool, making an effort to not falling off. I needed something to help me reach it. Perhaps a thick book would work.
I wasted no time as I began to rummage through the cardboard boxes which were literally all over the place.
As I was searching, something quite familiar caught my eye.
A very thick book was sitting in the middle of one of the boxes laying around. I used both my hands to take it.
It was no surprise that it was dusty, it seemed like an old book. I blew away the dust on the cover of the book. I coughed as I inhaled the dust coming from the book.
The book didn't really look like something I might have read. But as I took a closer look, I instantly remembered where the book was from.

Felicia
Her father had always tried the best for everyone, especially his family. All he'd ever wanted wasa pack and family. Felicia never doubted that, but the consequences of his actions takes revenge from her. Will she be able to move past it? Will she be able to find a mate and trust them? Excerpt: This would be the first time in a year I'd gone to town alone. I parked in front of the coffee shop. Walked across to the book shop. I bought one book a couple magazines. Going to the coffee shop I got my latte and sat. I flipped through the national geographic and then pulled out the mystery novel I had bought and started reading. It was hard to concentrate on it. Every time someone moved I jumped. I was finally getting into the book when I felt some one next to me table. I jumped as I looked up and saw a man. He was somewhere near my age, and to my relief, completely human. A human I could break in half, or throw through the wall if I wanted too. They weren't really a threat but I was a little nervous. "Hi, can I help you?" I asked.Complete

This follows the movies, the only change is that you're in it too. Book 2 of the {Marty Mcfly x reader} series --- 'Well! Say something, whore!' She yells all kind of names at me. 'Jennifer, stop that.' Marty steps in front of me. 'No! She doesn't deserve you! I do, I worked hard for you, I worked hard to make you fall for me and it just wasn't enough! What do you even see in that crazy mother fucker!' 'Jennifer, I want you to go.' 'No!' 'Jennifer, I want you to go. Now.' 'No, I'm not going. I want you to explain what you see in her!' 'I'm not gonna do that!' He raises his voice. 'And I said that I wanted you to go. So go!' 'Fine! Be happy with your new bitch!' She cries. --- If you want to listen to music while reading, I recommend this: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7sXTwC7UZe4DptQrwi9qgL?si=0SHgss5vQyuR0MdkvyqHdQ .

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue
-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe-and have faith-that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. But I didn't. Instead, it surfaced years later, during the final unraveling of our marriage, when I was leaving for good. I selfishly brought it up, hoping it would push her away. But in that earlier moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa, and probably sensed something had happened between us, but she let it go. And so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. We rebuilt, we dreamed again. Three more sons came into our lives, and with them, years of trying to hold it all together. But more than a dozen years later, the same problems that once threatened us had only deepened-and would soon spiral out of control.Complete
Finding Finn Reed
I've seen the same man die over a thousand times. I've memorized the exact time, and the exact way he dies. There hadn't been a single moment where I wanted to give up, where I decided to just quit. Regardless of how many times I failed, I found him in unparalleled ways. The phenomenon I called Time Hopping all began when Finn Reed died. ______________________________________________________________________________ Melanie Abner has to watch her best friend Finn Reed die countless times in an attempt to save him with her new found ability of Time Hopping. She meets Atticus, another Time Hopper who explains to her everything about her ability, and the truth behind Melanie's past. As convincing as Atticus sounds, Melanie can't seem to accept certainty of Finn's death. As time seems to pass by however, she realizes that sometimes it's best to accept the things you cannot change, and move forward with the things you can. (DISCLAIMER: This is the first book I've written, so it's somewhat of a practice. Either way, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!)Complete
The First
I was the first. I arrived in the Glade, and there was nothing and... no one. I remembered nothing about who I was, who my parents were, what happened. A few days I remembered my name, and that's it. That's all that ever came back. There were four walls surrounding me with only one exit. I wanted to go through, so I did, in hopes of finding my way out. What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
Finding A Home
Samantha's P.O.V. Hi, my name's Samantha. When I was just a baby my parents left me in an orphanage. When I was about four I started to develope powers. This was something that had never happened before, other than if you were an experiment, or if you were Superman. Anyway, I could melt things, freeze them, move things without touching them, I could speak to people through their mind and no one else would know, stuff like that. I had no idea why I could do these things but I could. Other kids in the orphanage became scared of me, mostly cause I couldn't control my powers. Even the headmistress of the orphanage was afraid. At the time however I had no idea why I couldn't play with the other kids, so it made me sad. Eventually I was given my own room, I would write and draw and I had asked the headmistress to teach me how to read and she did. I stayed till I was ten, then I ran. I knew no one would follow me, so I just ran. (part of the story. Samantha, John, and Thomas are the only original characters in this story. So far. All others belong to Marvel.)Complete
ALL THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND
Imagine a box. Any box you want. It could be a vintage chestnut chest imported from France, or a simple moldy cardboard box. Either way, it serves the same purpose, being shoved away in the corners of your dusty attic, with a variety of miscellaneous forgotten treasures. You never realise it's up there, abandoned in the thick coating of dust and neglect, until one day, it's all gone. It's always gone just when you discover that its contents may have been key to uncovering the troubled past of that box. But how much would it matter? How far would you go to retrieve the lost broken reveries? My name is Sea. It's a strange name, I know, especially since I can't recall ever being near a sea, but my folks have always been rather strange people. At least, from what I can remember. I've never really known them, but my whole life has been formed around their existence. The things I have learned from them could be looked at as troubled lessons of the world I lived in, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, accepting that fact could only be the beginning. This is all that I had gained from my life, and everything my parents gave me. This is all that they had left behind.Complete
