We were finally alone. . You and I
I'm finally alone with you...
And I own you... and I own your eyes... every time you look at my words... and read my lines... this will be the last novel you read of me in your life... for I am on the verge of a pit of death...
I have only a few hours left in this life, and I do not know how many.. but I know that they are few.
Before I begin, I tell you: You must read this book and burn it. They will try to get rid of it and everyone who read it, as they did with all the books that were similar to it.
Don't be alarmed. Just remember my words carefully. Even if they kill you after I told you these words of mine, you will die satisfied. Who dreams of dying satisfied in this era? Don't panic, my friend.
who am I? And where? And why? And how? These are all questions that I know you have...and perhaps you would like to throw away this book now and move on with your life...but I assure you...there is no difference for them between the one who bought it and read it...and the one who bought it and threw it in the nearest garbage...they exterminate everyone...
But the reader may have a chance of survival... Don't look at me like that... Even though I am a writer... I am inevitably dead... And they will storm this room of mine shortly and wipe me off the face of the earth as if I had never been there...
Don't waste my time explaining and talking nonsense...and let me start with you right away...there is no more time for you and me to waste...

In this conversation, you will learn things... and you will deny more things... you will like things about it... and you will hate things... but let me tell you something important: I will never lie to you... I will only tell you the truth that no one has told you before me... I will teach you secrets that have never been known. Someone like you should know it.. If I had lied to you, they would not have killed me.. Rather, they would have rewarded me and celebrated me as they do with everyone..
I know that you are a bored person. Either you are not a fan of reading, or you are a fan of reading, but you do not pay attention to books that are not decorated with the names of great writers. Therefore, in order to make you read this book of mine in its entirety, as you should read it, I created a game for you that you and I will play. ..And no one will participate with us.
The game of cards...is not the cards of Basra...nor the cards of the Tarot...but rather they are cards of another style...a cursed style...and the most important thing in it is the arrangement...if they are arranged in a way other than what their maker intended them to be arranged, they will be mere cards with no value...as for If they are arranged in the correct order... as you and I will do with them... they will open for you doors of secrets that no one has told you... and no one will tell you... dangerous secrets... everyone who knows them will be killed... and everyone who learns and teaches them will be burned...
I will throw thirteen stacks of papers in front of you. Each stack tells a story. It tells a secret that they want to hide from people like you. And they will go after you because you knew it. And because you are a bored person, and I appreciate this. Each of these thirteen stories will be presented to you in a way that differs from the previous one. Have you seen how eager I am to attract your attention? This is only because I have little left in life. I would like not to waste a single moment of it in distraction that is distracted by your bored mind.
But you can wander as you wish between each story... because I will chatter a little... and although it is very important chatter, if you must wander, let it wander in this space only and do not go beyond it.

As you and I take a step forward in the game, I will tell you more about myself... and where I came from... and how I reached you... and who are the people who will kill you and burn you after they kill and burn me... and how to save yourself from them... but now I will only tell you my name... I am Bobby Frank. I see you have inferred from my name that I am American. That is true.
In the end, before we begin...I want to alert you to an important thing: Do not think that you can read this book once in a relaxed session in your favorite place.. You have to read this book thirteen times; So you can understand it well.
Now let us begin our game, the name of which I will not tell you until later. It is enough for you now to know that it is a game of cards. Damn cards. Now sit quietly in front of me and look at the first set of cards that I will now place for you in order on the table. I know that The dim light I use in my room causes a headache, but never mind. It's necessary. Now let's get started.
I have now placed in front of you six cards face down... and I will reveal them to you one by one in the correct required order... the order that will tell the first story... and reveal the first secret... follow with me...
The first paper bears a picture of an accursed devil with two horns...and he appears to be at his most angry...
The second card is the magic card... the magic of the earth, and on it is a picture of a light emanating from the interior of the earth, shattering several rocks around it.
The third is the Air Magic card, which contains a magician who casts a spell in the air.
The fourth card is the absolute power card... and on it is the image of the fist of a strong man wearing a large golden ring...
The fifth paper has pictures of idols on it and it looks as if someone had smashed it.
_11_
The sixth and final card is the hammer card... and on it is the image of a strong man... a blacksmith holding a great hammer and waving it in a claw.
Even if you forget these pictures and papers now, they will flash clearly in your memory as I recite to you the first story... and the first secret.
