The book

This book has been passed down for many generations of my family. And my family isnt any normal family, we were powerful, almost controlled the world until one fateful day.
I remember that day so well, it started of as any other normal day, but then....she showed up and everything changed. My families power was taken away and I was trapped, cursed to be in this wretched book for the rest of eternity, the only way of communication would be a person reading what I write on the pages.
Everything else is kind of a blur, here I sat, in this book for years upon years upon years. just sitting wherever I had been placed, waiting and watching for the right oppertunity when someone took of the rope and opened my cover, so I wonder how it ended up in your hands?
Did i become so bored, so lost in thought that I stopped paying attention?
But yet here we are, and I am in your hands.......but your life, is in mine"
