[align=center][div style="width: 40%; text-align: justify;"]coal didn't have the slightest clue how to read. that, however, never stopped him from hoarding books in the past. he would collect any book he came across on his travels, and he used to carry them around in a sack but those got taken away by the raiders he'd been taken by, and he hadn't been able to have books since.. well, now, really. he had freedom to roam around, to pick up anything he'd like without being electrocuted until he couldn't feel his toes, and it was exciting. he could enter abandoned houses, fill his silence as he rummaged for books, could do it all without a care in the world.
"i wonder what this one says, coal. do you think it's got a super awesome title like.. coal and the twenty seven killer robots out to get him? orrrr maybe coal and the super awesome journey he went on?" he asked himself, stuffing the book with the red cover and the pretty artwork into his bag that he'd been lugging around that whole day. it had collected sand from being dragged around, which would be annoying to get out of the books, but he'd deal with it. "i don't know, those titles do sound kind of dumb. what about.. raider killer or something like that? that sounds cooler than coal and the twenty seven killer robots.. but coal and the twenty seven killer robots that he killed does sound pretty bad ass, though, you have to admit!" a soft sigh left him, as he picked up another book.
this one had a human girl on it, settled into a corner as a dark figure loomed over her. in a way, he saw himself in that girl, but he'd gotten rid of his shadows so easily that it was almost funny. "alright.. i'll admit it." he mumbled, slotting the book away with slow movements as he looked over the book shelf for any more that may have been preserved somehow. he didn't want any of the burnt ones, just wanted the ones with the pretty covers and the bright colors. "it does sound pretty bad ass."
