Phoenix 🔥🐦 - Restoring the Ledger - 🎞 Buddy Story ; part 15

Stepping through the street into a sheltered corner of the old bookshop, a slight disturbance caught my eye along an aisle of illustrated chronicles. An ornate brass bookmark shaped like a coiled serpent had slipped flat into the crevice between two leather folios, keeping one volume from resting flush on the wooden shelf. I planted my boots firmly against the aged oak plank, reaching out with both hands to grasp the cool filigree tail. Applying measured, steady leverage, I eased the metal free and aligned it flat across the spine of an astronomical ledger. With the obstacle removed, the tall book settled cleanly upright into its row, restoring quiet balance to the alcove.
