Clarence had the paperwork recreated by the document division.

They looked authentic down to the calligraphy hand writing on parchment paper.

The mother fucker had the nerve to steal the book verbatim Caleb thought angrily.

As Caleb rewrote the book he cried several time's thinking of his wife and daughter allowing memories of them to fade far from thought over the decade's.

His book was an anchor that bore his soul no one was profiting off his emotion's and loss. Caleb and Clarence entered in the cozy bookstore it was packed with reader's who loved Caleb's book.

The book thief read a passage from the book speaking about love and people taking it for granted.

Caleb recalled writing this piece because he saw his wife in town she was owned by another master he wasn't allowed to speak with her fearing the master's may think they were plotting an uprising.

Fan's of the book and Clarence clapped. The visitor's asked question's about the book's origin's lies were shared by the plagiarist to cover his thievery.

Why were you clapping Clarence? It was beautiful I clapped for you
