The Quiet Room

I write in the quiet room at my public library, and sometimes people don't follow the rules. My wife suggested I write about it.

I usually go in the morning and stay until a little after lunch. The other people at the library in the middle of the day can be pretty interesting. I'm sure they think the same about me.

The quiet room's been my haunt since I was laid off about 6 months ago. The summer was very loud with all the kids out of school. Now, I'm down to the regulars: Mister Movies, Mush Mouth, Mama Strict, The Mad Hatter, and others. As they float in, I'll mention them.
