The Book Keeper

Life what is it to you? I want to know what you resemble life with.
A candle, maybe? It provides you enough light and a bit of warmth to continue on the path we call life. But when it burns or blows out, it means you lose that loved one and then you are left in a dark and cold world. This is the time you have to mourn that person and try to find yourself in this mess. Have you ever felt that pain? To know the person is gone forever and you'll never see them again. Life goes on after that, but you are the one with the burns from the melted wax.
Or an hourglass, maybe? You can basically feel the sands of time between your toes, just like dancing on the beach it's a vacation. But the sand, just like other things in life, will stop flowing eventually and then it is another goodbye to a loved one. At this moment, the same sand that felt good against your skin is now covering and smothering you with all the weight in the world. Have you ever been under so much pressure? Where you end up asking yourself what is left out there for you. Life also goes on after that, but the stain from the sand sticks to your body like glue.
You and I may not have a lot of things in common, but I am sure we can talk for hours about life and death. This is a love story with a twist.
When Matthew Myers discovered a book called The Book Keeper he never thought he would be responsible for what happens in someone's life. Everything he writes in the book happens in Alazne's day to day life. But will he use this power to manipulate her for his own gain?
Sometimes the greatest gain in life comes after you lost everything that matters. Matthew Myers, who lost his mother and best friend in separate car accidents, decided to pursue a career as a paramedic. Ironically, life being what it is, he was called out to an accident scene where he found his father to be the victim. In his last moments his father told him about a book called The Book Keeper which is based on the life of a girl named Alazne. Soon after that, his father died in his arms. Confused and alone he went home and browsed through The Book Keeper. The next day a car ran Matthew over, exactly in the same way as it was written in the book. That was the first time he laid his eyes on Alazne. The two went on a date together and they enjoyed each other's company. But if there is nothing written in the book for the present day tragedy strikes. Matthew soon finds out that he is not the only one involved in the writing process of this book. What will Alazne's reaction be when she finds out that someone is basically controlling her life?
'I put the book down and thought to myself how a book can control her life like this. It's impossible. For 20 years my feelings has been played with by other women and now I have to be a puppeteer? The last thing I want to do is to hurt her in this process, but to have this power over someone is what scares me. What will be the outcome if I lose control and abuse this power?
So events that are written in this book are going to happen tonight at the restaurant, but what if I change some of it? I must test this book to see how authentic it really is.
I made the coffee and took the book into the study. I took a pen, ready to change some of the events that was already written for tonight.
Alazne, will our novel be a hit in a world that does not care for books?'
