Inside the library Tatsu was awed! The place was bigger than it looked on the outside. There were hundreds of tapestries showing all types of things (Dragons, Woman with Sewing Needles, Knights, Musical Instruments, etc.). The bookshelves along the walls went from the floor to the ceiling which was three storeys high.
Tatsu walked down a huge marble staircase with statues at the bottom and top of the railings. The staircase went from the entrance of the library to the main foyer where a round circular librarians counter/desk was located. There were approximately 12 librarians at the counters and Tatsu was sure that there were more of them patrolling the sections making sure everybody was quiet. "Where can I find books on imagination/creativity" he asked to a librarian.
"Section A, bookshelf 4B, Dewey Decimal 000.00 - 139.54," she replied.
"Whatever!" Tatsu decided that he will look around for anything interesting.
After looking through Sections K- Z11 Tatsu become very annoyed that nothing looked interesting. Taking a break from his search for nothing as it seemed he sat down on a sofa and started reflecting. Here he was at the local library and he couldn't find a single book that looked interesting that might give him some inspiration. A group of teenage girls walked passed Tatsu talking about clothes, what colours were in, and other girl things. Tatsu became depressed because they reminded him of his burden. Not wanting to sit there sorry for himself he got up and continued his search for a book.
After fifteen minutes or so Tatsu found himself in a Section P which was considered the taboo section. This section contained books not for the faint of heart and discussed things that were not considered proper among society. Curious, he started looked at one of the book shelves.
All of a sudden Tatsu tripped over something. He quickly got up and saw a fat cat walking deeper into Section P. Intrigued by the cat because pets were not allowed inside the library, Tatsu followed it. The cat stopped at a huge book ladder and started to climb it with great difficulty. Tatsu climbed up after it.
At the top shelf the cat just froze and then jumped into the air and disappeared. Tatsu nearly fell off the ladder in amazement. Then, he saw it. A book. It was covered in a layer of dust. Tatsu grabbed it and made his way down the ladder. He then found another sofa and sat down. After a few sneezy minutes Tatsu could read the title. Train to Nowhere by S. P. Norwell. He had found a book. He quickly had a librarian stamp it and he rain it out the door but not before he heard the librarian say to her colleague, "How did he, of all people find 'that' book."
Tatsu looked at his watch and realised that he was late for soccer practice. Shit he thought and started running to the field hoping that Coach wouldn't make him run laps for the rest of the practice.
