 Prologue

}}

Felix parked his bicycle in the library's bike rack and opened the first door in the library's airlock-esque entrance. The door was handicap accessible and the other door was always locked, so he waited for it to finish closing before opening the second, handicap inaccessible door, so as not to disturb other library-goers with the noise. He would normally take his books out of the bag he used to carry them on the bike, but this was one of those rare times when he did not, in fact, have a library book checked out, so he inspected the many pieces of paper taped to the door. The door finished its slow return to closed position, and Felix entered the main room, waving to the librarian as he went.

"Is Ender's Game in?" Felix inquired, because he had been waiting for it for a few weeks and it had been checked out every time he checked.

"Yes dearie; its over in the 'Reserved' bin." The elderly woman stood up and pointed to a small metallic bin near a statue of Mark Twain in the center of the room.

"Thanks." Felix walked to the bin and took the medium-length book. Afterwards, he went to the non-fiction section and selected a book about quantum physics. He walked back to the librarian to check out his two books, and she asked if he was ready for school to start.

"I don't think anyone ever answers yes to that question." He replied with a smile.

"Not even we, the librarians, like it when school starts."
