An interview with a bookshelf

It's been indeed a pleasure to meet someone who has such a wide collection of books. Could you please tell us for how long have you been collecting books?

Well, I have been at it ever since I came in here. 

What kind of books do you prefer?

Whatever that suits me is welcome? 

Have you given away any of your books?

At times people do come and borrow a book or two. And  some of them forget to retune them. 

What are your plans for the future?

 My plans are quite simple, collect books. 

How do you plan to extend your collection? Looks like you have run out of space for new books?

That's nothing, everyone in my family helps in one way or the other. They all love books.

That's quite a family you got there. 

Yes, I am lucky. They make me proud.

Thank you for sparing us some valuable time.

We withstood their poison and laboratory tests. In fact, the tests made us stronger and resistant to the diseases. Now look at them hiding in sewers away from us, fearing us. The telephone rang. Ed woke with a start from his reverie. There must be something wrong, he thought. My room has shrunk, there are metal bars everywhere. It looks like a cell. I can see my cousins in another cell. They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What&#

Hallucinations

It is an ear worm for sure, the doctor sounded confident. Ear worms, this guy is out of his mind. Aren't they harmless musical notes that get stuck on your mind? Well, my case was different. What got stuck was a piece of a ringtone. Something that sounded like the lovechild of a heavy metal riff and a banshee. It kept ringing and ringing till I became a sleep deprived zombie. Everything started because of that rotten room mate of yours. The junkie who had that ringtone from some progressive goth metal band. I was sleeping peacefully and then the blasted phone started ringing. It was so loud that it even impregnated my brain. Now, all I need is it to stop ringing. How do I do that? It might stop when the battery runs out. Excuse me doctor, could you please check how long my battery will last? As soon as the morphine kicks in, your battery will die. Then you can sleep peacefully. The doctor's voice echoed from somewhere up there. He looked up and saw a galaxy of halogen stars fad
