The Librarian
The library was open at all hours and Gabriel was aware of this upon his visit. Despite his few visits to the library, he always felt he should spend more time there. The library gave Gabriel a feeling of opportunity, similar to how he would feel behind his computer on his couch, but more tangible. Maybe it was the smell of the thousands of books holding information right before his eyes and sometimes into his hands.
Gabriel passed by book after book, each isle a blur as he wondered how long he should be waiting. The library was quiet. He had passed only a few others on his way up the stairs to the fifth floor.
It was in the blur that Gabriel nearly stumbled directly into the man that stood before him.
“May I help you find what it is you’re looking for?”
“Well, I don’t think so.” Gabriel quickly replied, gathering his surroundings; fifth floor, two isles from the front of the building, adjacent to a closing elevator door. Gabriel had a skill for knowing his environment at all times. He thought he was just being watchful, but Gabriel had an uncanny ability to know his every surrounding as if needing to be ready to act. This time however, he was caught completely off guard by the man standing before him.
“My name is Paul, I’m the librarian. If you need to find anything, you may wish to find me first.” Paul said with self-confidence. ”I may not have answers for you, but I’m known for sending people in the right direction.”
“Maybe I’m just looking for myself.” Gabriel thought to himself.
“Gabriel, I can send you in the right direction.” Paul assured.
