Episode 1 - The library: The Fuzz

As you examine the display you notice a copy of the Fuzz sitting alone on a shelf to the side. A stack of signed copies sits on the librarian’s counter, but this one copy sits alone on the shelf. The librarian seems to be occupied reading a book and is not looking in your direction. She flips the page with one of her tentacles, a trail of slime forms between the tentacle and the page. Why would this one copy be sitting on this shelf while the bulk is on the desk ready for sale?

You pull the book to take it off the sheld, but it only slightly moves. The book is attached to the shelf with some sort of cordage. As you pull, you hear a loud click followed by a rumble. In the corner of the library, you spot some slow movement. You look over at the librarian. She stands right in front of you staring daggers at you, her book on the desk behind her. You stand there motionless, paralyzed with fear as her lip curls into a smile exposing sharp shards of teeth. Her tentacle reaches over the counter and over your head. A gloop of slime falls on your shoulder, and she licks her lips. Her tentacle slowly lowers behind your back preventing your escape. Just as you think she is going to pull you into her, you notice her tentacle gently push the book back into its place on the shelf. You look up at her, trembling. She looks back at you and winks. She slowly retracts her tentacle over your shoulder, wiping away the slimy gloop that fell on your shoulder leaving a wet slimy trail behind.

As you sit there now uncomfortable and slimy, she turns towards her book and slides away. You seem to have control over your bodily functions again and feel your heart racing. You barely manage to squeak out

Thhhh…Thaa…Thhaanks

She does not respond or looks at you. You look up at the corner of the library where you saw movement. One of the walls had slid open and now a passageway is in its place. The Passage seems to be dimly lit, but the walls are carved from rock, like a mining tunnel.

You pulled the Fuzz book
