Ah, this girl is dreaming.


    Her sleeping face suddenly


    shows discomfort.


    I back away, going through


    the door which is locked


    from the outside.


    The hallway is empty and


    quiet.


    I proceed to walk until I


    come face to face with


    a dark shadow. The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    "We have work to do."


    It tells me.


    "Yes we do. What''s the


    plan?"


    I question the shadow.


    The shadow leads


    me to the mansion''s


    library.


    On a reading table,


    there''s a red plain


    book with the only


    title called,


    Cast the Die.


    It''s written in golden


    letters.


    I''ve read this book


    before.


    The shadow opens


    the first page.


    It''s all blank though.
