65. Nose in a Book
Amy decides to try leaping on top of the truck. She braces her legs, judges the speed of the truck, and, at just the right moment… leaps!
KLANG! Amy lands with both feet on top of the truck. She smiles to herself. “That was pretty darn cool, Amy! You should be an action star! Or, if nothing else, you can introduce truck surfing to your fellow shelvers. Now where-”
SMACK!
Amy turns to look where the truck is going just as it crashed into a shelf of books, sending Amy flying off of the truck and into the shelf as the truck bounces off and flies backwards. Amy winds up sitting on her butt in front of a teetering shelf of books.
“Oh, dear.”
The books begin pouring off the shelf on top of Amy. Soon she’s buried under more books than she can hope to lift. She slowly asphyxiates under a mountain of knowledge.
When she was a kid, Amy’s parents always told her that she needed to get outside and couldn’t spend all of her time buried in books. Looks like they were wrong!
Amy is in no condition to continue either this adventure or her life.
