As I went into that reading room there it was 'The Book". I walked up to the table, and I heard "Read the book." I stood there wondering what should I do for I thought that I had put all the books back on the shelves. I inched closer to the table, and it seemed like I was being gently pushed to that table with that book. My phone rang. I answered it, 'Read the book." Again, the feeling of being pushed to the table. I was closer to the table and the book turned out to be "The Bible".

The Books
When walking through the library one dark and gloomy evening when I was placing books back in the stacks there was this one study carrell that seemed to whisper. I slowly went over to it, and it kept saying "Read the book. Read the book." I thought what book as I finished putting books back on the shelves. I went about straightening chairs and picking up items that students left behind and put in the lost and found box. "Read the book, read the book." Again, what book. I went into the next room and there it was "The Book".

The way you wrote this piece had me on the edge of my seat. The repetition of reading the book, then being pushed. I was not disappointed by what book it was. The bible is the best book ever written. For history, poetry and life lessons anyone could apply to their own lives. And the best form of realistic fantasy 😍♥️🤗

This is really very good. I would love to see it written longer as a story 📕✍️🏆
Nice ending, Mark. Sometimes the supernatural intervenes to coax our decisions.
