Hello my name's oodami he/him I'm 5'5 and I'm 23 I live with my dad and we live in the suburbs you're probably wondering why a 23 year old is still living with their dad I'm wondering the same thing not that it's a bad thing I just wanna do my own thing one day you know anyways me and my dad get along pretty well my mom and Dad divorced years ago and still argue to this day about stupid things ugh ! anyways this isn't about them I never knew any other family members I have faint memories of my grandma visiting here and there after I turned 7 she stopped coming over so either she moved far away or... Hm so I barely knew this women and you won't believe what I got in the mail yesterday
I wake up and look outside to see it's a very autumn out

how lovely! I thought to myself I get up and my dad's already gone to work he works late so I pretty much live alone loneliness is nice but over time it starts to feel empty and makes life seem boring and useless I've always dreamt about finding something I'm passionate about but it seemed like I tried everything all I do is pretty much read books
I only have one friend her names anchi I call her ann we met online over a online chess game we hit it off and after I won she asked if I wanted to get coffee with her
I've never been in a relationship and I never seen the appeal of marriage and kids so I politely declined she laughed and said not like that like as friends I thought about it my dad probably wouldn't want me to go and I know my mom definitely won't let me so I-
agreed! She said rock on ! How about tomorrow at the coffee hop I replied and said okay sounds like a plan I knew she lived around here because this online chess website only reaches people that are near so I assumed she probably lives on my street after that day she would always come over and hang out

she's so cool she introduced me to a bunch of bands and she drives a motorcycle I could never be that brave she goes to the gym on weekends and tries to get me to come but Im not into being buff one day when we were at the coffee hop getting our usual drinks I asked why she comes here if she orders a drink and never drinks it she said i dont like coffee i said then why do we come here we can go somewhere else she looked at me and looked at the waitress that is always working and said well I like the company here I looked at her confused the service here is garbage if you come in at 6:00am and order a black coffee you wont get it untill 7:00am like its a black coffee and I'm the only one here ?! Anyways On a rainy morning I got up and got ready for the day I walk out and seen a letter on the kitchen counter it was a note from my dad it said
Oodami I'm gonna be home super late tonight eat whatever
Great. then I hear a knock on the door I look out the window and seen it was a delivery truck thats weird we didn't order anything I thought to myself I wait for the driver to leave and I open the door to see a package I brought it in and set it on the counter it

came from a place called Thon I've never heard of it ? So I opened it to see it was empty nothing but one single envelope I grab the envelope and open it it read
Oodami you're Grandma is no longer with us we decided not to have a funeral it is what she would have wanted after she passed she wanted to pass down everything to you she didn't have much but she left you her library in herit town the keys are in the box thank you and sorry for your loss
-karen leash
IM SORRY WHAT?! she died ?! I thought she died ages ago why did she stop visiting wait ? Keys in the box the box was empty I look in it and there was a set of keys those definitely weren't there when I opened it
Why in the world would she give me her library hmmm I started to think to myself
What if this is an opportunity what if I moved into the library? And opened it up I mean I do love books but I'll feel bad I mean I barely knew her shouldn't my dad be getting this library? After I ponderd for hours it was 8:33 my dad returned home I explained everything and showed him the letter and keys he laughed well that's you're Grandma for you I was dumbfounded this was normal? He looked at me and said is this what you want? I said what do you mean? He said do you want her library I looked at him and said
Yes I want to open this library and I want to live in it
He looked flabbergasted live in it ?! Oodami you're not sleeping on books
I looked it up and it has a bedroom! I mean sure it's small but I can make it work I'm 23 I'm ready to start my life Dad
He said okay and walked into the bathroom
Felt like i was gonna throw up after saying that but I went into my room messaged Ann and told her everything she said
Woah that's totally rad!!!
When are you moving in do you need help to get all you're stuff
I replied ha thanks but I don't think we could fit anything on you're motorcycle
you're right LMAO
I already packed my stuff I didn't have much Im leaving my books behind I mean it's a library I'm not gonna need those ones
True that ! I'm so happy for you oodami !
Thank you
I woke up the next morning and looked up the library and printed out the location I grabbed my bag and left a note for my dad
Pretty much just saying that I'll be back to visit and that he should visit me sometimes
Next chapter soon Next chapter (library)
