Life's Funny That Way

The Natural Disaster

There is a global disaster.  I am trapped in a library.  I need to burn books for heat until I am rescued.  I have the pick only three books that I would save.  If I Could Only Save Three Books…

Well, I’m stuck in the library and I need to burn books to stay warm.  First off, I think I would wait until I got so incredibly cold that I couldn’t fee my fingers before I started burning books.  I would probably be crying.. but that has nothing to do with the prompt.

Okay, so I can only save three books.  Of Course I’d have to save the biggest dictionary I could find.  Like they say, the words to every other book every written are in there! 

And I’d have to save a World History book.  If I think about it, I may be the one forced to re-write all of these things, and I’m pretty bad with dates, so I’d need some reference material.  So, those are two books for sure that I would have to save. 

Another easy option, I guess, would be the Bible.  But, that may not be necessary, depending on how many people survived this disaster, that may not be necessary (if there are enough people left such as ministers and whatnot, I think they could fill in any gaps for me). 

The third book – now I’m assuming that our main infrastructure system would be no longer in place.  I would need a book on survival – trapping and slaying animals as well as growing my own food.  If this disaster is so epic, I would imagine all of our technology would be obsolete.  I would need to know how to feed myself and my family as people did long ago.  I would need survival skills.

Looking at it…. Maybe it wouldn’t be this “disaster” would not be the worst thing in the world.  Ahhh… to go back to a “simpler” time…………
