Library balcony write-in

The library balcony is a lot more underwhelming than I thought it would be. The carpet on the floor below makes it a little trippy but not that scary. It’s like they throw a bunch of junk up here to make the rest of the library look clean. It does seem very peaceful, so I could understand why some kids come up here to do their work, but I personally wouldn’t want to. At least, not after looking up here for the first time.

And what kind of gym has weight rooms up the stairs?

As the seconds ticked by his eyelids began to feel heavier, his blinks were slower, and he struggled to hold back a yawn that threatened to come through. He re...

The dining room was very nice looking and had  glass doors opening to a veranda. A debate springs between a young girl and a colonel on whether or not women have grown out of “jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era”. The American naturalist doesn't engage, instead noticing a strange expression on the face of the hostess. She was staring straight ahead with tense muscles. She calls over the native boy behind her seat and whispers in his ear. The boy grows shocked at what she said and quickly leaves the room. When the boy returns with a bowl of milk and sets it out on the veranda.
