A NOTE

There is lay. Within the skeletal grasp of King Shi Huangdi, the king who lay in the tomb protected by the terracotta warriors. Strange ancient figures pressed into the leather cover of the book. Ones that I had never seen before. I had been an archeologist for 20 years, and never had I seen texts similar to these.

I ripped the book out of the skeletons grasp. It felt like the skeleton was refusing to let go, but had no strength left to do so. I flipped open the book to the first page, and that’s when it happened. The texts inside the book changed from their former form, into english, my language. All logical thought left my mind. The book just changed, right in front of my face. Plus it’s not some recently invented trick book, this is an ancient book made thousands of years ago. There is no tech trickery involved in this.

The first words on the book read:

A NOTE,

Do not read unless you are willing to face the consequences.

I didn’t listen…

Now you read my story of how this book took my soul. Just as I read the story of how it took the soul of King Shi Huangdi. Unfortunately for you the only way I can be freed from this cage… Is if I take yours. You should have listened to A NOTE…
