*Sigh* 'Why are there no good books here' I muttered. I was glossing over the fantasy section in

  a small store, the sounds of the busy streets could be heard outside and seen through the front window.

  "Something the matter young man?"

  I looked over to see a little old lady with grey hair pulled into a bun.

  "Oh" I said awkwardly, "I was just wondering if you have a fantasy story with a heroine, a really heart catching story with a strong female who hopefully will allow any audience

  to grasp her struggles"

  "Hmm, that quite a criteria"

  A small smile played on her wrinkled face.

  "Wait here"

  She turned all left behind the counter and disappeared through the door with the curtains.

  She came back with a book that was fair size and thickness.

  She handed it to me and I took and read it out loud

  "The reincarnated heroine?"

  The woman nodded, I opened it and skimmed through it. Quite a lot of words, I turned it over

  but was sad to see no description.

  "Hmm well ok, I'll give it a shot I suppose."

  I went and bought the book and quickly left, not wanting to be late for the bus home.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  .....

  I'd gotten home at bout 7 pm and immediately opened the windows as I lacked an AC unit.

  I surveyed my bachelor suite, It wasn't much but I was home.

  I started supper and went to sit in my living space.

  I had a simple life of janitor at a mall. I couldn't really afford college so I had to find a

  job after high school. I wasn't so bad because I really wanted to become an author.

  I sighed again as I sat down to my supper and the book I bought.

  I examined it, it was strange, there were no authors name or date of when it came out.

  I shrugged it off and started reading it.

  'A cage was hoisted up from the oversized well-'

  Suddenly the was a sound of creaking metal that seemed to come from everywhere.

  "Huh?" I said aloud. I looked around and couldn't grasp where it was coming from.

  Maybe it was coming from outside? I tried to get up but as I tried I collapsed and my strength

  and conscience left me in unison the last thing I heard was the steady creaking of metal and

  my world went black.
