Oscar and Alphonse, a Harris Burdick story, is filled with mystery and horror. Read this book and be enveloped in the story of Oscar and Alphonse.

Thirty years ago a man visited Peter Wenders' office, a children's book publishing business, introducing himself as Harris Burdick. Mr. Burdick explained that he had written fourteen stories and had drawn many pictures for each one. He'd brought with him just one drawing from each story, to see if Wenders liked his work. Peter Wenders was fascinated by the drawings. He told Burdick he would like to read the stories that went with them as soon as possible. The artist agreed to bring the stories the next morning. He left the fourteen drawings with Wenders. But he did not return the next day. Or the day after that. Harris Burdick was never heard from again. Over the years, Wenders tried to find out who Burdick was and what had happened to him, but he discovered nothing. To this day, Harris Burdick remains a complete mystery. Now people use Burdick's illustrations to create their own stories. This short story was an assignment in my college English class. We were told to write a story on one or more of the fourteen illustrations. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try to write something dark and thrilling. The day this was due I had to read it out loud to my class; my classmates and friends were shocked that I was able to write something so grim, especially since I'm normally positive. COMPLETED ****May contain violence not suitable for a person under the age of 13. No sexual violence, just a scene of gory violence.

Ryder couldn't live without Rowan. So when she mysteriously disappeared one day, he sets off on an exciting journey to find her.

"In the hidden corridors of our imagination, lies the doorway to a world of limitless possibilities. Sometimes, the greatest adventures begin with a single step through an unexpected portal." In 9th grade, I embarked on a project inspired by a photo from Harris Burdick. My story unfolds around a boy who, placed in an orphanage at the age of one, overhears mysterious voices by his bedside, prompting him to flee to his best friend's house. There, he stumbles upon a peculiar closet lacking a back wall, leading him into a fantastical realm bursting with imagination. In this alternate world, he must muster his courage to rescue a kingdom ensnared by the clutches of the malevolent Animaka. Drawing from the essence of Narnia, I authored this tale myself, crafting it as a personal endeavour not intended for transcription or distribution."

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a 1984 picture book by the American author Chris Van Allsburg. It consists of a series of images and quotes for unfinished stories, created by Harris Burdick. A man who has mysteriously disappeared. "The Third Floor Bedroom" was one of his many unfinished stories, so this is my version of this story! Disclaimer: I don't own the image, the quote, the music, or the story prompt. That all belongs to Harris. I only own the story and characters. Enjoy! (Note: This is my first Wattpad story! I actually wrote this story a long time ago, so I have everything pre-made. Hope you enjoy, thanks!)

This is my take on Mr. Linden's Library. It is only two paragraphs but i think it's quality writing. Maybe don't read this before bed. I don't own the picture, it's Harris Burdick's, but all the writing is mine.
