Once Upon A Time There Was Fiction

“For tho' from, our Bourne time and place

The flood may bear me far

I hope to see my pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar.”

- Tennyson

 

Once upon a time 

There was a girl, who loved books

She read all different types of books

Adventure

Fantasy

Futuristic

Her favorite was fiction

When she read 

She felt invincible

Everyone came to her seeking knowledge

From Percy Jackson and his father Poseidon 

The danger of Legend and Prodigy

 

On the edge of her seat 

Eyes wide with anticipation

Lost in a world of words...

Beep Beep Beep - it's a text

"Leave me alone I'm doing something educational!"

 

She slips back into a world dominated by chapters

The world of Allegiant

The affection of Tris and Four

A true erudite 

Always searching for knowledge

 

To her - bookstores are heaven!

Books spilling out like the slots in Vegas 

She has a mission 

Strait to the fiction

Making her way past obstacles

Her escape, from the real world

She stops.

She turns.

She sees it.

There, sitting on a stand

The book she has been looking for 

Finally found

She rushes over

Opening the crisp pages

Of Cassia and Ky, 

Rebellion against Society

She then does what she always does when she has a new book

She does her- happy, jumping, squeaky dance

 

Day and June with

The Champion

Marie Lu

 

Apollo knows the sun

I know books

Zeus knows Lighting

Hades lives death

The lightning thief Luke

 

The bravery of Dauntless

Selflessness of Abnegation

Peacefulness of Amity

Intelligence of Erudite

Honesty of Candor

The factions of

Divergent

Insurgent

Allegiant

All crafted by Veronica Roth

 

She feels the anger Day has against

The Republic as a Legend

She feels the excitement

June has as she takes her place among the Soldiers

As a prodigy

 

She tries to understand the imagination

Rick Riordan

Ally Condie

Marie Lu

Veronica Roth have

She struggles to find her own Pilot

 

She has found the flood that lets her cross

She has found books

She has found love

She has found anger

Excitement

And relaxation

 

Her stories don't end here

Oh no, not yet
