The Unexplainable Notebook

The Unexplainable Notebook By Seth Bramwell It all began on an average Saturday for die-hard thrift store hunter Amy Taggart. The crowds weren’t too bad, and she was more than happy to take her time looking through an unruly bin of books for anything of interest. She had just placed a copy of Macbeth in her cart when a small black leather bound notebook atop a pile of romance novels caught her eye. She reached for it with curiosity and opened it to see how much had been used. She found just a few lines of neatly written script that read “The Story of John and Amy. John first met Amy while chatting online one lonely night.” Amy stared at the book, absolutely transfixed. The book was devoid of writing save the title and the one sentence, but the coincidence was too much to ignore; It was exactly the way her husband John had first met her. Amy immediately took a picture of the page with her phone to share online later before adding the book to her cart and leaving quickly. She found John working in the garage when she arrived home. He kissed her cheek and asked her how her trip had gone. Amy smiled mischievously, the mysterious notebook in her hands.
