This Sci-fi book fan called the police because he was locked in a book shop!

This sad guy had his nose on his favourite sci-fi book. Unfortunately did not realize that the owner has locked the door and left. This news was so interesting that I can't help but to write it as a short story. So here goes:-

It all happened in Manchester City centre on Saturday when he was browsing for books. There it was, this unfortunate man was trying to pay and he was locked!

Alone in the bookshop, he started to think of 'the survival guide to escape from a locked bookshop'. He scrambled through the shop searching for a key and mobile number of the owner. He tried to escape through fire exit but not avail. Nothing. Last resort was to call the cops, so he did.

Cops arrived with a bad news, they can't barge in. So they called the fire brigade arrived. Fully equipped, uniform on. As they reached the book shop, they realized the ladder could not be used. Nothing can be done to help this guy. There's no such thing as an flying machine or levitation like we see in a sci-fi show.

Police told the him to stay where he was while they remain on the police line.

Here's the best part, he had the shop all for himself. So he nosed himself to books for an hour and a half. Then the owner came back. Savior is back!

The man was delighted that he was finally free! So he wanted to pay for his book before he leave.

"No, we don't accept credit card.", the owner responded.

So this sci-fi book fan eventually left the store empty-handed, after being locked in a book shop for almost 2 hours.

Epilogue

Great Manchester Police officer tweeted to tell everyone that he was freed from the locked bookshop.

The man went back with cash the next day. He was given vouchers by the owner.

Verdict: 

Despite all the embarrassment that poor guy has to suffer, but hey, I took it as an adventure. How many nerds wish that they could just sleep in a bookstore for a night so that they can read all they want.

Pretty interesting case if you ask me. What do you think?
