Book Of Wisdom: A Short Story

It was a warm, sunny day in Hillford, California. William Smith was in his huge backyard, taking shots with a soccer ball. His parents were very rich, because they inherited their grandparents’ money. Their grandparents, his father told him, won a lottery ticket back in the 1960’s and they had inherited their parents’ money. His house was a huge three story mansion, with a bowling alley and an olympic-sized swimming pool. His parents owned seven cars, all of them very expensive cars. Whatever he asked for, he got from his parents. He was living the typical American child’s dream. But he did not have a clue about what would happen to him the next day. The day after, William woke up like he would every day. He yawned and started to walk downstairs.

Nothing came up. The term Book of Wisdom felt very familiar. He tried to recall where he heard the term Book of Wisdom.

He went over to the spot where a lot of books were sorted into boxes. He started digging through them. Box after box, there wasn’t any sign of the Book of Wisdom. William started to lose hope. The Book of Wisdom was probably nonexistent, why even try to find it? William grabbed the nearest book and threw it at the wall. With a crash, the book bounced off the wall. However, there seemed to be light coming out of it. William went over to get

He hoped that the Book of Wisdom would be able to tell him what happened to his parents. The Book of Wisdom seemed so magical. The first page had a table of contents. He flipped the page again. There, the book started. It wasn’t like an ordinary book. The pictures were moving. The book seemed to know his thoughts. He thought of a question in his mind. ‘Where are my parents?’ The book blinked out for a moment, then showed a picture of a huge dungeon. ‘Where is this place?’ he asked the book. After a few seconds delay, the words ‘In San Francisco.’ appeared. San Francisco was only twenty minutes away from his house. ‘How do I rescue my parents?’ he thought to himself. The list of steps of what to do suddenly appearing on the Book of Wisdom startled him. It
