Michelle walked into the bookstore, wondering what new LOTR book they would have. She loved LOTR, and couldn't wait to find out what was available. Maybe there would be a new picture book with pictures from the movie. Or perhaps an in-depth look at the poems and songs Tolkien wrote. Whatever it was, she would buy it.
"Ah, yes, our most devoted Lord of the Rings fan I know!" The man behind the counter chuckled. He was used to seeing her walk in, devotedly, and search the shelves for whatever was new.
"Yeah, do you have any new books in?" she replied, a hint of a smile curling up behind her lips.
"Actually, we do, but I don't know if you'd want it..." he replied, hesitantly.
"Of course I do!" Michelle answered, eager to add another book to her collection. He sighed, and then carefully pulled a book out from the bookshelves behind him. He gently brushed off imaginary dust, and then handed it over to her.
"Transport Yourself Back to the LOTR Trilogy!" she murmured out loud, reading the cover. "Interesting...where'd you get it?" she added.
"Just came in yesterday night. I'm not quite sure who sent it, but it looked like a good book so I stocked it. Why?" the man replied.
"Oh, just wondering. I've never heard of the author, Earane Lissesul. And I've certainly never heard of the publisher; Time Machine Publishing. Have you?" she asked.
"Nope, never. Odd, though, sounds kind of creepy, don't you think?" chuckled the man.
"Well, I have to be going, so can you ring this up for me?" Michelle asked. The man took the book back, nodding.
"That'll be $4.50," he told her. She handed over a few crisp new bills, some change, and then walked out of the store.
When she got home, she got on her laptop, hoping some of her friends were online. Sure enough, as soon as she logged onto her AOL Instant Messaging screenname, an Instant Message from her friend Melody popped up.
Arwen: OMG! Aragorn is soo hott! Like totally! And so is Josh!!
SwimmrStar: Hey, hey! How are you Melody? How was ur trip with your man?
Arwen: I'm great, and the trip was great. Hawaii was AWESOME! My man...sounds so good to say it. Yep, Josh was such a sweetheart the whole time. So how are you?
SwimmrStar: Lol. Couldn't be better! Guess what?
Arwen: What?
SwimmrStar: I just found another LOTR book!
Arwen: That's great! What's the title?
SwimmrStar: Transport Yourself Back to the LOTR Trilogy...
Arwen: Sounds interesting. Have you started reading it yet?
SwimmrStar: Not yet...if you come over you could read it with me, and we could
maybe do something...go to the mall?
Arwen: Sure, I'll be over in about five minutes!
SwimmrStar: Ok!
While waiting for Melody to come over, Michelle flipped through the pages. It was amazing to see the pictures added in here and there, as they looked quite real. Yes, they were from the movie, but still, they looked like actual, live, moving people. It was kind of creepy, but Michelle soon forgot about it as the doorbell rang.
