Dying Paperback Book (FC)


                Black clouds covered the sky as a group of silhouettes crowded around a dark deep hole in the ground. An old wooden coffin was lowered into the ground. The first silhouette snickered, “Good job boys. They are almost all dead.” In the coffin lays a tattered and beaten paperback book. The silhouette stepped out in the moonlight revealing the evil beings.  Kindles, Nooks, iPads, and other devises laughed and stalked back into the shadows. The paperback book is an endangered species in the modern days, and needs to be saved.

                Most people are attached to their electrical devises, then they forget about the other things you cool use instead of computer like objects. Some people lose the feeling of a new soft cover with fresh pages of an actually book when they use E-books. The Ranger’s Apprentice paperback has a really soft cover and clean pages when you buy it brand new. The smell of a brand new book is so fresh and clean, that I only really like buying books brand new. The smell sticks with you if you have a deep love of books. You can curl up in you nice warm bed and read a book, then go to bed tried. If you read an E-book the bright screen makes you more awake, and then you never stop reading until it’s either really late or you devise dies.

                Paperback books can be borrowed easily from a library or friend. If you go to the library then you get the enjoyment of getting out of the house and a nice quiet place the read. E-books are really hard to download or barrow. You have to deal with email, the place you are getting the book and the actually devise, just to barrow a book. To buy a book if you not logged on you have to login and the find the book, click buy and accept the buy. Books may cost more in regular stores than E-books, but if you go to the thrift shops you get cheaper books for next to nothing.  For Nooks you can only shop at Barns ‘n Noble. You can’t go anywhere else that’s cheaper and use your Nook. Plus teachers are more likely to let you use a book that let you read an E-book in class. Other kids are going to be tempted to steal a expensive tablet than a regular book that isn’t as expensive.

                A paperback book was walking down a quiet street late at night. He got a creepy feeling like he was being followed. All the sudden, he heard footsteps, like a herd of elephants. He stopped and turned around. The footsteps stopped. A voice spoke out of the shadows. “Well, well, well, if it isn’t a paperback.” The paperback coward in fear as the Nook stepped out of the darkness with his gang of tablets. Blaring blue and red lights flashed in the night. “Put you screens up!” hollered the mysterious voice. “We’ve been made boys,” screeched the Nook. The gang of tablets let out a low grown. The paperback sighed in relief. He’s going to live another day.
