“Darling, did you take my library book back yesterday?”
“No, my dear. We don’t have a library in town.”
“But it says here in this book–look, now–right here. For return or renewal on December 28th.”
“I see that, my dear, but the rest of the date states it should have been back in 2012.”
“Of course. That’s this year.”
“No it’s not. This year is 2016. You forget, you’ve been sleeping for four years.”
“I have?”
“Yes, my dear. You only woke up last week, the day after we moved. I had to have you packed in a wardrobe.”
“You’re joking!”
“No, dear, I’m not.”
“If you’re not, you know what that means, don’t you Darling?”
“It means I should sue the movers for waking you up?”
“No, it means we’re going to owe four years in late fees on this damned library book!”

Interesting and slightly off beat whacky tale, just how I like them 😀
I love the unanswered questions: packed in a wardrobe and sleeping for 4 years? LOL ….. sue the movers? and no, the problem is the 4 year overdue library book – how delightful! Really enjoyed the tone of this 🙂
how interesting. i’m now intrigued to know what could actually had happened.
Me too! Haha! This is often how I end up writing a book–by answering my own questions as I go. 🙂
