The Librarian slips him dragon
books before barcoding them.

Sure to see him again before
the final bell rings.

The real tale to tell
is where his imagination

takes him. It isn’t reality
although it’s based on a true-ish

story. As the prophet of his
friend-group, he is no main

character- he is an unreliable
narrator. Not an overachiever,

he hides behind the cover,
avoiding –although reading–

the room. The twist– he can predict
with some accuracy the origin

story of both heroes and villains.
Victories and downfalls falling

on equally deaf ears. World-
building his memories.
