    Summary

    A part of Henry had always assumed he would die within the walls of the library.

    It's a statistically sound assumption. He spends most of his waking hours here. He puts too much trust in the wobbly tables he stands on to hang decorations. He dares to use the ancient elevator that screeches and groans during its slow, perilous journey between floors. He often volunteers to go into the boiler room and bang on the unit so it starts up again. And out of pure obligatory politeness, he eats the godawful cookies Janice leaves in the staff break room on Fridays. Obviously, it will be one of these ill-advised choices that causes his untimely death.

    Then he walks in.
