Her Line

Oscar stands in front of a glass case with his hands in his pockets. Inside the case, a very old book lies open to one page. His sister Mara says one line from Shakespeare every night while she washes the dishes. Tomorrow she says it on a stage. At breakfast she pushed her plate away and asked him, "Will you look? I need to know my line is really in the old book." He came to the library after school. A rope keeps visitors back, so from where he stands the page is only a dark block of letters.

He tries to read one word. He cannot. A man with a backpack stops, looks for a moment, and walks on. Oscar stays. Tonight Mara will ask what he saw, and "a big old book" is not an answer she can use.
