The Littlest Dragon Rescinded My Soul Fee

Cindy Hazama

Why did you not... huff—answered the desk bell!

The Librarian

I did. I forgot you cannot perceive past the third dimension. My apologies.

Cindy Hazama

This says I owe a soul! I brought back 'The Littlest Dragon'—that's only three days overdue!

The Librarian

Time is non-linear in Babel. Three days, three centuries—both are Tuesdays.

Cindy Hazama

…That's my book. I lost it when I was six.

The Librarian

It checked itself in. Stories return when they're finished with their readers.

Cindy Hazama

If I promise to read it to the end—right now—will you waive the soul fee?

The Librarian

I do not decide about the fees. That would be the Ygdrasil Tree.

Tiny Dragon

Thank you for finding me!

The Librarian

Hmm... Seems that Ygdrasil decided to resend the fee. You should thank the paper dragon.

Cindy Hazama

Guess I'm banned from returning anything on Tuesdays, huh?

The Librarian

Return on a Wednesday. We serve cookies at the desk.
