*Sigh* 'Why are there no good books here' I muttered. I was glossing over the fantasy section in

a small store, the sounds of the busy streets could be heard outside and seen through the front window.

"Something the matter young man?"

I looked over to see a little old lady with grey hair pulled into a bun.

"Oh" I said awkwardly, "I was just wondering if you have a fantasy story with a heroine, a really heart catching story with a strong female who hopefully will allow any audience

to grasp her struggles"

"Hmm, that quite a criteria"

A small smile played on her wrinkled face.

"Wait here"

She turned all left behind the counter and disappeared through the door with the curtains.

She came back with a book that was fair size and thickness.

She handed it to me and I took and read it out loud

"The reincarnated heroine?"

The woman nodded, I opened it and skimmed through it. Quite a lot of words, I turned it over

but was sad to see no description.

"Hmm well ok, I'll give it a shot I suppose."

I went and bought the book and quickly left, not wanting to be late for the bus home.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

.....

I'd gotten home at bout 7 pm and immediately opened the windows as I lacked an AC unit.

I surveyed my bachelor suite, It wasn't much but I was home.

I started supper and went to sit in my living space.

I had a simple life of janitor at a mall. I couldn't really afford college so I had to find a

job after high school. I wasn't so bad because I really wanted to become an author.

I sighed again as I sat down to my supper and the book I bought.

I examined it, it was strange, there were no authors name or date of when it came out.

I shrugged it off and started reading it.

'A cage was hoisted up from the oversized well-'

Suddenly the was a sound of creaking metal that seemed to come from everywhere.

"Huh?" I said aloud. I looked around and couldn't grasp where it was coming from.

Maybe it was coming from outside? I tried to get up but as I tried I collapsed and my strength

and conscience left me in unison the last thing I heard was the steady creaking of metal and

my world went black.
