Walking down the steep stone steps, I almost tripped over a stack of books carelessly abandoned. Carefully, I bent down to examine my find. Cracked leather covers, dog-eared pages, smudged ink. A cursory glance told me that no one was around, so I scooped up those books and got out of there.
Treasure tomes.
It was raining and I was alone.
