Drabble #11, Theme #97 Dictionary
Usefulness is subjective


Nestled between 7 Easy Steps to Speaking The Language of Love and 999 Words to Impress your Professor, the large tome never stood a chance. 839 Useless Spells: A Dictionary had sat on the shelf untouched for decades, generations of students coming and going, studying and... not.

That was, until one day, a tiny child reached up, wrapped his hand around the thick, cracked binding and took it down. Finally!

Sneezing, he dusted off the book and considered it a moment. Then, with an unceremonious thud, he dropped the book and stepped up onto it, streeeeaatchhhhiiiing for the highest shelf.
