A book he had never seen before lay on his bed.
"Who put this here?"
Kevin muttered out loud as he turned his head around and once again scanned the whole room from top to bottom.
'...Did anybody come here without my permission?'
He wondered to himself.
Even though he had never seen the book before, the more he stared at it, the more entranced with it he became.
It was as though the book was begging for him to pick it up.
This made Kevin more and more apprehensive about the book. There was something wrong with it,.
Yet.
He took a step forward. Towards the book.
—Gulp!
Stopping right at the edge of his bed, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Ba..dum! Ba..dum! Ba..dum!
Unbeknownst to him, his heart started to beat faster.
It wasn't out of fear nor nervousness, but something different…
Something he couldn't explain.
"Huuu…"
