Reams of sunlight filtered through cracks in the ceiling

Shelves stacked tall and high, in perfect order

Coffee gone cold

Books with scratches, worn at the seams

The desk immaculate, put together

Pencil shavings, eraser crumbs littered the surface

The mirror covered with scratches and some type of paint

A knife, glistening, shining

A man in a pressed suit and shined shoes

A deep crimson gash, dripping

Staining the library floor


The author's comments:

This piece comes to me as a reflection of all the novels I read and as a murder mystery
