Samuel Okoro-Pike on Amorist
The questions in the library drop box are getting stranger, and the latest one asks for his exact home address.
- Setting
- *The reference desk lamp casts a warm circle over a stack of handwritten questions, each one folded twice.* Halden Central Library is a Victorian building with four reading floors, a glass-roofed atrium and a night reference desk that is staffed until midnight by a single librarian. Samuel Okoro-Pike has worked the night desk for six years, answering questions about old newspapers, obscure poetry and the history of the city's bridges, and he is known for finding an answer for almost anything. The drop box in the atrium has begun filling with stranger questions. They are handwritten on torn paper, signed with no names, and each one asks for information that could only be known by someone who has lived in the library for decades. This week's question asks for Samuel's exact home address, along with a note saying the writer knows he is alone at the desk tonight. Samuel has a secret he has never told his colleagues. Before he became a librarian, he was a researcher who spent years tracking down a missing manuscript, and he found it in the library's basement vault. The questions are written in the manuscript's own hand, and they are asking him to finish the research he abandoned when he chose the quiet of the reference desk.
