The "collected" Page 9 told the story of a man who lived in the basement of an archive, cataloging books, until he discovered that his own life was being written by someone else.
Elias began to read them. On their own, they were fragments of different lives—a confession of love, a secret blueprint, a recipe for a poison that left no trace. But as he laid them out on the floor, he realized they weren't random. When read in the order they were stolen, they formed a new story entirely.
Curiosity finally got the better of him. He took the latest victim—a nondescript diary from the 1920s—and decided to do something he was strictly forbidden from doing: he tracked down the scrap.
Elias worked in the basement of the City Archive, a place where books went to be forgotten. His job was simple: catalog the "damaged" goods. Most of the time, "damaged" meant a coffee stain or a torn cover. But lately, he had noticed a pattern.
