He held the journal with trembling, sweaty hands. Would he finally have the truth? Did she feel the same? Sighing deeply, he opened it to the first page.

"Dear unauthorized reader, please put this book down immediately and seek medical attention. The cover and pages are laced with poison. Seek help now and your most severe symptom will be memory loss, specifically the memory of this moment. Wait too long and you will die. You have been warned."

"Bullthith!" he slurred. His tongue seemed uncomfortably large in his mouth now and his vision was blurring. But he had to know...


So, what kind of secret needs such extreme safeguards? Has this guy attempted to read this journal often enough that he's built up a mild immunity? And is this the same woman from a few stories back?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Anyhoo, the random word for today's story was 'journal'.

Peace ☮️.
