He’d funded the school’s library, naming it after himself, well, his father as far as everyone else was concerned.

Education was important; children needed education. And reading was the cornerstone of education.

He’d paid good money—out of his own pocket too, mind you—to ensure it was well-stocked. All the classics were present. And a good reference section. Children couldn’t be expected to turn in A-grade work using B-grade material. No siree… not in his library… only the very best graced the shelves of the Sunnydale High School, Richard Wilkins II Memorial Library.

And a beautiful library it was. He looked around him—realisation coming just as his world exploded in a blinding flash of colour.

"Well, gosh…"

I just had this feeling when I read the summary... Nicely done.

Is it just me, or is LJ loading painfully slowly?

Thanks, hun.

I just had this feeling when I read the summary LOL...I don't know if that is because it is predicatble (which it probably is) or if it is because you and I on occasions think scarily too much alike!

That is fun - and totally in character. It might also explain some of the more occult reference books they had.

Thanks! LOL... I guess it might, although I assumed they were Giles' personal stash. lol

"Well, gosh..."
Hahah! So very Mayor-like.

Thank you, my dear!

Hee-- perfect! Love the exploding "Well, Gosh!"

Thank you! The Mayor is so much fun.

I feel incredibly thick, but I don't understand the ending that everyone else seems to grasp effortlessly.

"Well, gosh..." is what the Mayor said just as the library blew up...so famous last words, as it were.

And you're not thick at all... I had to look it up to get his exact words... I knew it was something like that but I couldn't remember exactly what it was he'd said.

Oh, okay. Thank you!

Hah -- how fitting! I guess you could say poor Wilkins didn't see the writing on the wall.
