The Author

Chapter 1: February 29, 1632; 12:03 PM

Harold Grimm, sitting in his desk writing fairy tales for his book.

"I got to finish this book, I got to finish!" Harold said in a hurry. "Leap day is here and this book must be finished or the book finishes me."

His wife, Ella, opens the door and comes in all upset because of her husband...

"Oh, Harold. Get off the book and eat with your family." Ella said. "Please? Your kids really want to be with you today, especially on their birthday."

The kids comes in with Gretel mad at Hansel. Both of them talks to Ella...

"Mommy, Hansel keeps hitting me with the stone he has." Gretel said and hits Hansel in the head.

"Mommy, Gretel hit me with her own bare hand." Hasel said.

"Would you two, stop it!" Ella said and kicks them out of the room and both Hansel and Gretel goes to there table and starts eating.

Ella continues talking to Harold...

"Can you please, just eat with us for today and leave the book alone. It does no harm."

"No, I got to finish it or everything goes haywire."

"It is just a stupid book, come and eat with us!" Ella demanded.

"I just have to finish this last one and I'll be done."

"Bullshit! You always say that and then you still don't come to eat."

The wife approaches Harold and grabs the book from his hands.

"No!!!" Harold said and tried to take the book from her but it was too late.

"What have you done?!"

The book vibrated in front of the wife. The wife dropped the book and saw the writings get out of the book and make characters from the book. Tom Thumb and The Young Giant. They both got Harold and took him into the book saying his last words.

"You must be silent about this secret." And in a second, he left the scene. The book closed and Ella looked in awe. The time is 12:03 PM.

"Holy fuck." The wife said and ran outside saying, "My husband is missing, my husband is missing!"

All the people were looking at her. All scared because of the disappearance.

"Was it a kidnapping or an affair?" The street whispered.

Authorities investegated and moved on from the case. The wife never told what really happened. She kept the secret and never past it on. She hid the book in a trap door inside the closet. The book was never seened again.

Years have past, the book closed hidden in a closet. Generations, decades, centuries have past and the book still remained closed and hidden. Nobody knows where it is. Luckily, some of Harold's drafts stayed in place, so the Grimm family kept on writing. The book still remains missing until one day.
