The library was right in the middle of town, where the old general store used to be. Unfortunately, It was just a real small one and only had a couple sections of books, with none starring Utah McLaren. I didn't care, though, I was just thrilled that my town got its own library. After looking at the sections several times, I came to the conclusion that the library only has 5,000 books, about half the size of an average library, and had only a couple hundred that were worth reading, so I checked out about twenty of those and read those for a while. It wasn't for a few months before I discovered a new section in the library.
May 1899
One day in May, I was roaming through the library, trying to see if there were any Utah McLaren books. I decided to ask a librarian if there were any Utah McLaren books in the library. "McLaren?" the librarian said. "We have some books on that. Follow me."
I couldn't believe my luck! Utah McLaren books in the library I didn't think had any books worth reading! Excitedly, I followed the librarian to a cellar just where the very small "J" section is and went down the steps. At the bottom of the steps, there was a poorly-lit room with about 50 books. I went over to the bookcase, and sure enough, the librarian was right. There were Utah McLaren books. I grabbed all the ones I hadn't read yet. I was just about to leave when something else caught my eye. It was a book with a fox on it. It had no words, no colour, no nothing. But I decided to take it anyway
I should have left that book on the bookcase.
When I got home, I plopped all the Utah McLaren books on my bed and started to read the fox book. I opened up to the first page. Blank. I flipped to the next. Blank. I flipped all the way to page number five. There was a small, folded piece of paper there. I grabbed the piece of paper and opened it. It had something scribbled on it in pen. The handwriting was extremely poor and lacked proper grammar. I thought it was just a bookmark or something a kid had left in the book by mistake. I threw it away.
I shouldn't had done that.
I flipped to the next page. I saw some handwriting there. It said in big bold letters in the centre of the page, "A COLLECTION OF STORIES WRITTEN BY MARCÜS SCHEVÍNG." I flipped to the next page. I saw some more handwriting there. It said, again in big bold letters in the centre of the page, "MISTER FOX'S SHED: #1." I turned the page. This time, I saw a page to Mister Fox's Shed. I decided to read it.
Reading it was a big mistake.
The story was about a fox that lived in a tool shed in the countryside who often had visits from kids. Usually, during the visit, they would either play tag, read books, or sometimes do acts that are illegal now. The whole story seemed nice, even though it had horrible spelling and grammar. There was just one thing, though. At the end of the story and all the other stories that were in the book, they all ended the same way: Mister Fox and the kid digging a hole in the field that surrounded the shed.
There also was another thing. The stories started to get more and more gory as they went along. I had to ask myself, "What in the world was I reading?"
The following is a list of stories I remember in the book:
"Window Washer", a story about a man who washes windows with people's blood
"Bell", a story about Alexander Graham Bell and how his inventions can be used for murder
"The Joy of Cooking", a cookbook
"Goulash and Fork", a story about a fork who chases a bowl of gouglash around
July 1899
It's been a while since I went to the library, mainly because of that book I checked out. Anyway, I went to the library and saw they had built a new section in the library full of the fox book I checked out. The fox book was now part of a series of fox books. Reluctantly, I checked out another one of the fox books. I wanted to see if the stories had gotten tamer.
I was wrong.
Oh so wrong.
