My Expressions

A Mysterious Encounter

I quickly packed all the library books in my bag that I had borrowed and started off for the library at once. There I met my best friend with whom I was studying and researching about different and queer creatures who are said to be extinct. We had already collected a lot of facts as there was a whole shelf of ancient books which told us about different species in the local library of our area.

The Strange Old Man

We both entered the magnificent library which was located on one side of the main road. As usual, we took our seats in the corner as it was the nearest to the ancient bookshelf and I texted my mother saying that I had reached safely. I went to the reception and returned the books we had taken last week. We took out some more books and made notes of interesting facts. Suddenly my friend got a call from her mother and said she had to leave and would meet me the next day.

Unsettling Encounter

I carried on with my work and it was easier to concentrate as there was only a single old man and the receptionist. The old man seemed a bit weird to me as he came to the library every day and sat in the corner and looked around, but I did not pay attention to him. As I was reading my book, I saw a shadow fell upon it. When I turned around, I saw that old man standing behind me and he suddenly came in front of me and sat down in the chair where my friend used to sit.

The Supernatural Revelation

He had a very magical aura and I felt quite different when he came near me. As I observed him properly, I noticed that there was a spectacle on the tip of his nose, his hair was completely white, and had sunken eyes. He told me something, but it was very hard to understand it and after trying a lot I understood that he said that he was the author of the book I was reading but I did not believe him as the book was written 100 years ago and how he became so old.
