Book murder

The Collected works of Isaac Asimov laid open on the floor next to the crumpled body. Blood slowly being absorbed by the pages of paper. He felt shame running into his soul from causing such damage to a book but he could not resist the urge. The urge to beat the foul specimen of a human over the head with the book over and over. For this demon in human skin had put the books back on the shelf Backwards. In the wrong section. The Biography of Jackie Chan does not go into the spiritual help section. Books do not go on the shelf backwards and upside down. He fell down to his knees and tried to salvage the book. Someone would investigate soon but he felt no pain over snuffing the life out of someone. Only that the book was damaged. He cried tears of fury and regret but making sure that none fell on the book. The poor tome of fiction would be put in a evidence locker and never read again. The thought of destroying the enjoyment that someone could garner from the book was overwhelming to his senses. He heard the body move a little bit. The person still lived. He could still be redeemed. He quickly piked up the book and took it down the stairs to the counter. It had fallen on some poor soul upstairs he declared. They need attention. As the library staff ran to assist the fallen the man ran out the front door with the tome to try and salvage the book. He wondered if they would figure out it was he that had laid down such a viscous beating but in reality his only concern was returning the book to its former glory.
