The Books of Sand

The Books of Sand is a blog that archives a series of anecdotal narratives discovered in a composition notebook.

Premise
The author, who goes by "L.B." (standing for "Little Brother"), is an adolescent who lost his older brother in a car crash some time in 2010. In the following year, he searched his brother's room for a particular notebook he suspected him of keeping. Upon finding it, he read it obsessively. The contents of the notebook varied, from descriptions of strangers (described by L.B. as having a quality of "nostalgic voyeurism"), to interviews with people of the city on various subjects. Upon more thorough reading, it was found out to be a collaborative project between his older brother (who is referred to as B) and his friends, deemed The Books of Sand. The focal point of the notebook are the narratives, which detail ominous events that supposedly happened in the history of "B" or his friends.

L.B. states his uncertainty towards the validity of these stories, although he remains open minded due to the familiarity of some of the person, places, and events mentioned.
