With its white walls and wide windows allowing gentle sunlight and blue sky inside, the library was a tranquil place. At least until Jake had come around and inadvertently knocked over a stack of books waiting to be placed back on the shelf.
A new job in a new town brought along a new lease on life. It also brought about the realization that he had to rebuild all of his connections and habits from the ground up. New grocery store, new friends, new cleaning routine at home. Establishing these routines, even in his first day and a half had been quite easy. He had nothing but time on his hands, not beginning his new job until the start of next week on Monday. After purchasing a few more essentials for his home he decided to make a stop at the local library, figuring that some mental stimulation through reading would be more beneficial then staring at the TV for days on end.
He left his black sedan locked in the parking lot as he entered the building, two large doors opening into a central atrium. Following a sign, he'd made his way towards the eastern branch of the building, where all of the nonfiction work was supposed to be. Moving towards the area where some biographical works were placed, he walked directly into the stack, the time almost freezing as he watched them fall and hit the ground with a thud.
"Well, shit," he muttered to himself as he bent over at the waist, black t-shirt riding up a bit to expose the top of his jeans. One hand worked to hurriedly stack books together as the other pushed through short brown hair, instinctively brushing it back. Gazing down at the thigh-level cart, he realized his job was done, even with the spines jutting out at strange, haphazard angles completely unlike the neat stack he'd bashed into. Pursing his lips, he let out a quiet whistle and began to stroll away, believing that no one had caught his brief moment of stupidity.
