In a small library no one ever seems to visit in the middle of
nowhere, a young boy continues reading books. Perhaps these books hold
the answers to all of the questions of his life?

In 14 short
chapters, this ebook will take you on a journey of discovery. Strange
events follow Daniele through the library and beyond, as the young boy
tries to uncover a secret he has since forgotten. Doors open and close,
pages turn by themselves, strawberries grow in the snow… amid this
surreal landscape, will Daniele find the answers he needs before
returning to his ordinary life?

This short story consists of approximately 6000 words.

This ebook has been translated from Italian to English by Andrea Pakieser.

 

Acerca del autor

A computer engineer who uses/loves/hates Linux. He left Windows behind one night 10 years ago, after he got tired of trying to watch a regular DVD as the system continually restarted the same scene from the movie. He expresses visceral, strong, very charged emotions, often changes his mind, would like to work with a big publisher but given what we see happening around us every day he believes it’s best to write to not publish, like the crazy painter in the film “The Mystery of Bellavista” by Luciano De Crescenzo. You don’t sell art, you destroy it. He always says he wants to stop writing and leave it to other people who do it better, but then he comes across awful books in the bookstore and sees things in a new light, goes back to writing and then changes his mind again. Oscillating between love and hatred for writing, he’s published 8 stories with a publisher in Rome, without paying anything, and a chapter from a novel written by several authors. In July 2012, a few months before the end of the world, his first independent ebook appeared. This is his fifth. Will it be his last? Ask him that yourself...

He also wrote, in Italian, the stories: “Deve accadere”, “Viaggio dentro una storia”, “Racconti dall’isola” and the novel “Le parole confondo”, all available on the major ebook platforms and also available as paperback.
