Victor Van Bremen, so tall and spry, was off to campus, waving goodbye. Books in tow, with a hop and a skip, he never expected a surreal trip!
Driving along in his rickety car, Victor admired the morning star. Oh, how the sun shimmered and shined, when a honk-honk-honk blew his mind!
“Roll down the window, you must hear,” shouted a stranger with eyes full of leer. Puzzled, Victor followed the sound, rolled it down and looked around.
The stranger, so angry, with steam in his ears, yelled out a torrent of fury and fears. Victor, bewildered, said sorry twice, but the words only seemed to add ice!
“Why, oh why, did you beep and shout?” asked Victor, trying to figure it out. The stranger growled, with flames in his eyes, “You cut me off, you are not wise!”
Victor’s heart raced, he felt a chill, not even campus could calm his thrill. Little did he know, this was the start, of a grand adventure that’d test his heart!
The day unfolded with twists and turns, all through which Victor’s anxiety burns. From books flying off shelves, to whispers in halls, mystery and magic were sudden new calls.
A professor's hat did a dance in the air, as puzzled pupils could but only stare. “Pay attention!” the hat would cry, leaving Victor to wonder, why oh why?
In the library’s nook, a book sprung alive, telling Victor it’s a marvelous drive. “Speak to the creature, find the lore, your answers are hidden behind that door!”
Determined and bold, Victor opened the way, greeted by creatures with things to say. Each one whispered of wisdom and might, urging him forward, to set things right.
A fluffy dragon gave riddles by three, for Victor to solve to earn the key. Victor’s mind whirled, but his gaze was steady, for every new challenge, he stood ready.
At last, the final puzzle piece in hand, Victor faced the driver so grand. But now he knew, what his heart sought, courage and kindness, all battles he’d fought.
