The Special Aubergine

1. Big Hall of Bookshops

At last I arrive at the shop. But this is more like a fair. It is inside, most of it, and dark, crowded. Books everywhere. We have a stand somewhere, I know where it is. I see my colleagues. I'll say hello in a minute. First I explore. I have to be somewhere specific. 

I have got an aubergine with me, but I want a better one, and I think I know just the place, so I go there. It is behind a certain corner of the place, then down a long lane, sloping downward. Small pathway. Downstairs are more shops, but looks more like a market, sooq maybe. There I will find what I need. I turn left after exploring a little bit, then I go to a particular place, there is no one there, but the crate with aubergines is there. They look different than the one I have, these are the ones I've been looking for. They are purple, but also dappled, yellowish. And much softer. I take a large one with me. They are larger than the usual. They are a kind I don't know.

Now I have to be careful, because this aubergine is rather floppy and I fear it will break and explode and water will spill, or juice will spill. This way I go back, but I keep running around a long time with this in my hands. 

Then I finally go to work, not that I have to, but a woman asks me where the second part of Sylvia Day is. At this time we are in the big hall, behind the counter, and my colleagues are there. I catch Keva and asks him where the book his. He points and I go and look, but I don't find it. I look more and spend a lot of time looking, but I can't find it. Even when I realize the woman has already gone a long time, I am still looking for the book. 

There's also shelves with food behind the counter, I go there and take my pick. This is only for me. I eat.
