Mr. Linden's Library
by Juliette

He had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. In a dark room one night, a little girl was sleeping while her nose was laying on a scented strawberry pillow with images of barking puppies jumping in her dreams. Her mouth was dry and was longing for her to wake up and get a drink. The puppies paws were curling around her arm but it was really ivy growing out of the book! She felt something on her arm that made her squirm. She slowly woke up. Then she looked down at the book but only saw pages. She tried to go back to sleep but she felt it again. Sweating she looked down. Still just pages. The third time she quickly looked down and saw ivy growing out of the book. Before she could close the book, the ivy squeezed her arm cutting off her circulation and made her fall asleep. When she was in the deep sleep she couldn't have noticed that the ivy was growing even bigger and was able to squeeze through the door, go quietly down the stairs, and into the kitchen. When her arm healed from the squeeze she got up and dashed downstairs trying not to step on the dangerous ivy, that was all over the place. She ran into her dads shed then quickly rushed back into the kitchen with a pair of hedge trimmers. She tried to chop it off ... but the vine was too thick! All the noise made her dad come out of his room. He sprinted to his daughters room holding a pair of scissors. Already knowing what to do he cut the ivy where it was thin part. That caused the ivy to stop growing and spreading and die. The girl ran upstairs with out breath. Her father took one look at her arm and told her, "We need to get some cream on your sore arm." After he put the cream on, they both went back to bed. That is why no one ever checked that book out ever, ever again.
