Closed Top Shelf

[Sybil St. James]

Sybil didn't waste much time before losing herself in the library. There were just so many books she felt herself get dizzy every time she entered. She had always thought her father had an impressive book collection but she should have known an actual library would be much much better. She was still trying to find her footing at school and wasn't exactly having the best luck in the friend department. But she could forget all about that when she surrounded herself with books. Today she was in the history section which she always had a fondness for since so much of it sounded like storybooks. She paused when she saw a book on the top shelf that jumped out at her. Frowning she considered how she was going to reach it. She had always been on the short side so there was only really one solution. She set her foot on the bottom shelf and tested her weight before, going for it. She stepped on the shelf and reached as far as she could.
