Not wanting to waste a minute, Abby pulled her satchel over her shoulder and began walking head long into town. She had decided that she would pop into a little shop and ask some questions. Hopefully she'd be able to pick up some useful information. She wandered down the street a little further looking for an elderly shop keeper. From past experience she knew that the elderly were more likely to give information out.
After just a few minutes she found the perfect place, a book store. If anything there might be something written about the town's history or it's people. She stepped inside the door very cautiously, surveying the area. There were books stacked neatly on shelves that went all the way up to the ceiling. It was amazing, and Abbey felt totally in her element. Ever since she was a child, she had loved to read books and learn about things. With all of the traveling, she never had many friends, so the books were her friends.
She stepped to the back wall which held many large, old looking books. She picked up a heavy book with a faded green cover. It was dusty and the pages were yellowed and brittle with age. She took it and sat down at a table close by and opened the book ever so slowly. She didn't want to rip a single page.
