Should he simply have made two trips to the bookstore instead of trying to carry everything at once? Yes, but that boat had long since sailed and he was walking back to his apartment with books stacked in his arms so high, he couldn’t quite see over them. At least not until one happened to tumble towards the ground when he had no way of catching it. There were a few choice words of the profanity kind that he wanted to say, but that never made the best impression, instead he caught the eye of someone walking towards him. “Excuse me?” He asked, in the most polite voice he was capable of. “Would you mind picking that up?” Finishing he used his foot to gesture towards the book. “Apparently gravity picked a fight I couldn’t win.”
