The sounds grow louder again. The book almost leaps from your hands. You stare at it, gathering your courage. You take a deep breath, hold the book tightly, and yank it open.

The room begins to spin. A wind starts to blow. The condo grows dark and cold. You feel your body being pulled downward. An invisible force pushes you closer to the pages before you.

And then, suddenly, everything is still.
