Alright so in a far away land there was a book, and the book was a forbidden book because everyone who read it cried and dove into a deep depression always muttering a different name. One day a girl named Susan asked her grandmother what the book was about, since she knew she has read the book but her grandmother instead told the girl about the history of the book. How some say it was older then time itself and how no one knew the author or what happened to him/her. Susan kept asking around and they all said the same thing or simply looked off into the distance looking for someone to appear, so susan became impatient and read the book..........
Susan sat under the great tree that the book was always and has always been laid under and opened it and started to read. The book had her like a curse, a curse so old and one that has everyone sit under that tree for 3 days and nights reading. Not eating, not drinking. But on the last pages is when she felt it, the tug at her heart and as she kept reading it kept pulling and pulling, and Susan did nothing about it but kept reading. Shes gone too far and she can not stop now until she read the last words did susan finally understand why everyone cried at the end for the last words were "and when you shall close this book, I shall die and you shall die a million deaths and they shall take a part of you with them.
I love you"
And like a automatic machine being told what to do, she closed the book and felt the tug the strongest and saw as part of her went into the book and became one of the thousands death that anyone who reads the book lives. She fell to her side as she saw the writer and his wife who was the first reader add words and so on and so forth all the way to her.Susan cried and hugged the tree and screamed to the world "im sorry im so sorry". For she misses him, and she looked off into the distance as thousands have before and waited. But like always no one came and like always no one knew who they were eaiting for
