"If you're going to read this, don't bother. After a couple pages, you won't want to be here. So forget it. Go away. Get out while you're still in one piece. Whenever someone reads this book they die a gruesome, painful torturifying death."
"Yeah right." Jade said to herself as she kept reading.
"If people actually died by this book, why the hell is it in a school library." Jade said with a tied face.
She was in the library that night for an homework assignment. The homework was to find a book of your choice and write about the authors' mood and tone of the piece, weird but yeah.
"What is even the point of finding mood and tone of a book! I don't read to know about how the authors' feeling. I'm in college we should be learning about useful things." Jade said almost yelling.
"Shh." The librarian said with her finger to her mouth.
Jade said her quiet sorry as she walked up to the librarian to check out the book. The librarian looked at her with a worried and scared face.
"Um.. are you sure you want to check out this book?" The librarian said in a shaky voice.
"Yeah, of course there's nothing wrong with it other than the face that it looks old." Jade same inspecting the book.
"Hm, you know what it's on the house, in face you can keep the book" She said, now basically pushing Jade out the library door. "Have fun reading sweetie." She said as she slammed the door in Jade's face.
"Wait, but I wasn't done." Jade said with a huff.
"What's the deal with this book anyways?" Jade read the title, "Book Mircform De Mors." It was in Latin it meant 'The Killing Book.'
