Haha! Loved this Tumblr post. It’s scary how true it is. It’s like you share a special secret with that book. Beyond the humor of the post, it reminded me of how I often looked at my bookshelf and smile knowing that there are so many worlds I’ve explored. It’s hard to believe that the entire Harry Potter world and the fandom that now follows has come from piles of bound paper. Just wonderful and glorious paper and ink. We have so many amazing stories and worlds inside these silent books and we are unaware of them until we read them. It’s in moments like these that I remember how awesome humans can be.

The leaves were glowing bright red, as if they were on fire. The path gleamed and winked at me. The trees spread their branches wide, like arms. My foot stepped in front of the other. The end of the path was obscured. Where would it lead? When I looked down I noticed the blood-stained leaves crushed. There was something tangible in the air, a taste on my tongue. Something dark was hidden here. “Lets go, I’m bored,” my sister whined. She couldn’t see what I could. She couldn’t see the warm, wet blood dripping off the leaves. What secret was hidden in these woods?
