[WP] You find a tattered book in a thrift store / charity shop which describes your life down to a T in third person. It's a relatively thin book - what's your reaction / do you read the end?	A quiet day with Andrya had brought us to her favorite store. A hobby shop that doubled as a sort of Salvation army store. She thumbed through rolls of fabric, and bins full to the brim of different colored buttons while I made my way to their meager collection of books. They told you just how long they'd been around w...	7	103	11,474
[WP] You find a tattered book in a thrift store / charity shop which describes your life down to a T in third person. It's a relatively thin book - what's your reaction / do you read the end?	This is stupid. I'm one of a kind, and I know for a fact that no one can know these things about me. Rather than skim through like I had originally been doing, I gave each word, each sentence the utmost attention. I cradled the paragraphs and caressed the pages, not out of some freakish obsession with paperbacks, but b...	2	103	11,475
[WP] You find a tattered book in a thrift store / charity shop which describes your life down to a T in third person. It's a relatively thin book - what's your reaction / do you read the end?	My memoir, in a thrift shop? I'm stunned. Flabbergasted. Confounded. Who would resell my life? I wrote it to share. I wrote it so people would see how I grew from poverty to become a social dynamo, champion of the party scene. I poured tears into my fall through drugs and alcohol. The years I spent homeless and lon...	2	103	11,476
[WP] You find a tattered book in a thrift store / charity shop which describes your life down to a T in third person. It's a relatively thin book - what's your reaction / do you read the end?	I had a decision to make. After thumbing through the pages I could clearly see this story parallels my own life, to a T. Every memory I've had was just as I had remember it. The book was quite thin, as I curiously thumbed through some of the pages, I picked out a paragraph toward the middle of the book: "He stare...	1	103	11,477

TALES OF TOXLAB What the actual what? Is this about toxicology? When I chose the monicker, I had no idea. Thought I was being original. Asked a friend what she thought of the alias, and she said, "Sounds like a comic book villain." Sold. Oh. The early years. Hey, I remember that. I...wait. Does it have...oh. it does...	3	103	11,478

BEEP! BEEEEEEEP!” “BEEP! BEEP! BEEP” Steve shot up frantically to the sound of his alarm clock. This definitely wasn’t the first time the alarm scared him, and it definitely won’t be the last.

Chapter 1: I remember the day quite clearly when I walked into Old Man Jenkins Book shop. The smell of old pages and pipe smoke hit me hard as I walked in. The store's name may not actually have been Old Man Jenkins now that I think about it, just the store front was so worn I could not read the sign. Behind the de...	1	103	11,481

I never go to bookstores. I never read books. I mean, I read, just not books, not physical books. It’s always either on my Kindle, or something on my phone. But, and I don’t even know why I was here, I think I had an hour or so to kill before my wife finished class, but I found myself downtown at this really cramped bo...	8	103	11,482

[WP] You find a tattered book in a thrift store / charity shop which describes your life down to a T in third person. It's a relatively thin book - what's your reaction / do you read the end?	I bought the book on a whim. It looked shoddy but the title was intriguing: “Tales of a Germ Jockey Wannabe”. I was a sucker for a good title on a cheap book. Half the time they were worth it, a quarter of the time even more, and the remainder was kindling. And more importantly, I hadn't expected to take a 20 hour ...	1	103	11,484

You've just been released from an insane asylum[WP]	I should feel lucky, I suppose. Not everyone gets what amounts to a warning.

You've just been released from an insane asylum[WP]	Insanity. Naah, none of my business. They took care of me because they wanted me to learn how to behave.
