Library of Alexandria


by Martin Tomlinson


                                                                      
                                    

I had to get to the river, once I got to the river I would be able to jump though the portal. Behind me the librarians screamed at me to return the books that I had stolen.

“ If I return them they’ll be burned tomorrow!”

Of course all the librarians looked at me like I was crazy. I ran to the river and jumped in the water of the Nile. I felt like a top as I spun round.

When I opened my eyes, I was in my apartment with the longest over due books, from the Library of Alexandria.
