Fandango’s Story Starter

“This must be misplaced. It’s not for sale” and the man grabbed the book from Jeremy. The tome was leather bound and worn at the edges. It resembled a diary and had a leather strap and lock. The owner of the store quickly placed the book under the counter and stood there making sure the book was safe.

Jeremy was mystified and asked the man if it belonged to a relative of his. The older man looked Jeremy in the eye and admitted yes, it belonged to his grandfather. “Then why was it out here in the store?”

The proprietor leaned in to Jeremy and said, “it often places itself out here.”

“What?”

“Yes, you see my grandfather’s ghost lives here and I think he wants people to read his adventures”.
Jeremy turned and quickly walked out of the establishment, never to return.
