If books get forgotten they might just escape...

The Great Book Escape

Slam... bang... “arghh”

“What was that?”

“I think that was the sound of someone giving up on us...”

All was quiet, and dark, and would probably have stayed that way for a very long time if it hadn’t been for the book at the very bottom of the box...

“Eesh... get off me, all of you, I’m getting squashed!”

“What was that?”

“Who was that?”

“It came from down there, right at the bottom of the box.”

“Well it’ll have to wait its turn, we’re on the top, if anyone is going anywhere, we’ll be the first.”

Rustle, crumple – Rip! The box of books burst open and grumbling books came tumbling out, and some of them got creased!
