While we were speeding across the oceans, headed toward Crilas, Geeble and I agreed that it was time for the others to "read" the books of Shrykull. Blarg was the first to speak up: "I've been wondering exactly what the book was about. Let's get to it!"
Geeeble and I shook our heads.
"You don't read the book. You live it," Geeble said. "When I opened it for the first time, I was gone for three seconds, but to me it felt like an entire lifetime."
"And I simply felt as if I was falling and spinning .... it was almost endless," I said. "When it had ended I felt refreshed, like a new Mud. I knew so much more than I had it was frightening. As it so happens, we will all have very diffrent experiences within the book. But even I don't know what each of us will see. You'll need to 'read' the book yourselves."
Everyone generally agreed, and we drew straws to see who would read first, as they all wanted to read it first.
The short straw went to .... Lammy!
Geeble produced the book, and handed it over to Lammy. He took it, grinned, and opened to the first page. Then, in a flash of orange light, he vanished. I had just enough time to think, "Whoa ... That was cool" when he flashed back into sight.
(ooc: complete the sentence, Hobo) Lammy stood near the closed book, and he looked ______________________.
Smirking, I said, "Well, Lammy. What did you see?"
