"The Book of His Life"
. Content Warning.
In a calm town concealed between moving slopes and wandering waterways, there carried on with a man named Thomas. Thomas was known for his effortlessness — he was a man of not many words, happy with the little delights of life. He functioned as a custodian in the town's unassuming library, a spot loaded up with old, dusty books that the vast majority had long neglected. However, there was one book specifically that Thomas valued over all others, a book that he kept near him consistently. This book, bound in worn calfskin with yellowing pages, was something beyond an assortment of words; it was a piece of his spirit.
