After an hour of reading and I was completely in love with the book and I'd only got through the first three chapters! It was around lunch time so I decided to head to my favourite café on Eglinton street. I tottered down the street taking in all of my surroundings. It was late July and so it was fairly busy in town with tourists on their way to the amusements and the beach. I opened the door to the café and the smell of chips and coffee hit me. I ordered a portion of chips and a coke and took a seat by the window.
Kyle's view
It had to be her. The way the book keeper described her, brown hair, blue eyes. It had to be her. The gathering started to spread out once the book keeper finished his speech about his most recent customer. Morgan and I pushed our way through the dispersing crowd.
"Mr Paddington! Can we talk to you for a minute?" I yell. He turns around and smiles when he sees us coming.
"Ah, Kyle, Morgan! To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Was it her? Was it Hailey?" I blurted out. I knew he couldn't tell us even if it was her. It was against the rules. When the first book keeper, Albert Weatherstone, travelled to the other dimension he saw his brother but his brother couldn't remember anything about this dimension. When Albert travelled back to our dimension he told people about his brother and the people started asking him to find their family and friends. He did this but no matter where he went or who he found they didn't remember. When he came back and told the people who he had seen, the person in the coma slowly started fading, becoming one with the other dimension. In order to stop this he wasn't able to tell the people who it was he'd seen so instead he looked for other ways of helping the people in the coma wake up. He started writing books about this dimension and taking them to the people in the other dimension. Whoever found their story in the other dimension would then wake up if they read the book.
As you can imagine it would take ages to find everyone and even if the book keeper did find them there was no guarantee that they would even read the book.
"Was my sister there?" Morgan asked. Her sister Maddison had also fallen into a coma not long before Hailey.
"Now, now, you know I can't tell you that." The old book keeper said.
"Can you tell us the name of the book you gave away?" I asked hoping it would have something to do with Hailey or me. Mr Paddington looked at me for a minute stroking his bewhiskered face.
"Forever. It was called Forever." Great that was no help at all, "By the way, you haven't seen my glasses, have you?"
