Chapter 32

I tried my best to remain as still as possible. The person seemed to drop something on my bed. I couldn't be sure what it was because my eyes were still closed.

After dropping whatever it was that the person had borne, the figure walked out of my room and shut the door.

I was terrified at how easy it was for a random person to get into my room while I was supposed to be sleeping. I remained on my bed and waited for a bit in case the person decided to come back.

After what seemed like 5 agonizing years but was 5 minutes, I opened my eyes and searched around for a match to light my bedside candle.

Finally, with a candle in my hand, I began to search for the place where I had felt the person drop something.

I found a package of some sort hastily wrapped in dirty brown paper. I was wary about opening it but was too curious to resist finding out the content of the package.

I loosened the thread that tied the paper together and gently unwrapped whatever lay beneath the paper.

It was a book.
