Short Tale, Bloodline, by Aidan - 4:18:48 PM - Dan

Our eighty-second short story has been added to The Circle's library of tales, entitled Bloodline, by Aidan. He has also posted this work on our forum, here. He promises more to come, so good luck with your writing, Aidan! It all started when Gareth went up into the attic like most inquisitive young teenagers do. Gareth initially wanted to see if there was anything of worth in there to sell for a quick buck, when he discovered a trunk full of books. Naturally, he opened one up, attentively, because of its age, and paged through, discovering that the writings in it were much older than he had thought, judging by the cover. He was absolutely mesmerized as he kept on reading through the day, picking up one book after the other, scarcely moving, only to get up briefly to go to the bathroom or to eat and drink. He continued the pattern for weeks; going to school and sitting through boring history lectures and pointless mathematics classes, all the while, waiting to head home, and dive straight back into the literary world he had opened up. Before he even changed out of his uniform, he would go back up to his chair in the corner of the dusty, cramped attic and flip through the tomes. He probed them, discovering more than what he would have ever have learned in school. As he paged through, he started to discover some unusual similarities in them all, and he spotted the fact that the names changed, but the surnames stayed the same: Hightowne. These weren’t just any books; they belonged to his family. They were their journals. All throughout them though, he hadn’t seen his dad’s name at all.
