Someone had used it as a bookmark, saving their place, remembering where they had left off. Then, apparently becoming tired of the story, they closed the book and returned it to the library, forgetting completely about their bookmark.
I believe it was weeks later when I came along. A clever and eye-catching title, I picked the book from the shelf and headed home. It was then when I was leafing through the pages that I discovered the bookmark. I wondered if they had ever remembered they had left it in the book.
What would I have to go through to find the person and return it to them? Is returning it something I should even do? Two-dollar bills are unique but not all that rare. They are just different enough to make them fun to discover. I doubt the library is willing to give out any information about their patrons. How much trouble would someone go through to track me down? For two dollars probably not much.
I’ll have to think
about this. I’ll just tuck this bill
into my wallet, so I’ll remember where I left off.
