Dewey Decimal is a harsh master
Who: Cyrus, whoever
What: Who wants to LEARN? Or sort things by number category, whichever
Where: What passes for a library
When: The 21st
Cyrus had been strangely absent from most of the events recently. Maybe some people had seen him, wandering aimlessly around. Maybe near that strange spacecraft that had slammed into the forest. Maybe drifting through the hedge maze. Maybe staring out over the lake. Or maybe just sitting in a corner somewhere.
This new world was close in nature to the old one. It had the same physics, the same laws of nature. The gravity indicated that they were on a planet roughly the same size as before. But the very fact of the events were something Cyrus simply couldn't wrap his head around, even in the best of circumstances.
But he had found the library, and despite the assumed age of the books, most of them were in at least fair condition (he had a memory of a movie he had seen as a child, of a time traveler in the distant future who found all books crumbled to dust from their ancientness and disregard, as the future beings were lackwits who cared nothing for learning). There were things here about this world, and he may find the connection between it and that moon.
But first he should at least put some of them away. Ugh.
