Scary Marian Library

St Michael Institution, my alma mater has an old library with very old books. This library has a name, we call it Marian Library. The icon of this library would be The Falcon and The Falconer. It is a statue of a man holding a flying falcon. There was this old man, with hunch back and he had been serving for our school for decades. He is a very old Chinese man and works in the office. This man has passed away. I still remember when I was in my lower form, he will walk around the school and when we greet him, he barely answer. Maybe because he was too tired and not because he was reluctant to answer. I still remember that he went back by taxi everyday. I heard that he was single and has no family. A tribute to him, he had served the school to the very end of his life. He was like a guard in the school many years back. Many years back, the school library would be opened for students to come back late at night to do revision just like Sam Tet High School. However, a scary incident made the school authority to close the entire school after sunset. Here it goes, this old man who was young that time, used to patrol in the school and even checked the Marian Library every night. One night, when he was doing his normal routine, he saw something moved in the library. When he took a loser look, it was the statue (Falcon and The Falconer) running in the library. He got the shock of his life and ran from the library. Since the incident, he became hunch back and the library is now closed at night to hinder people from seeing this statue running again.
