Captured Story

Leaving my school one day, a mysterious woman stood before me with a large book in her hand, blank pages inside.

“Come,” she said.

I felt a dizzying pull. Captured, I grew and lived. On my journey, I heard the woman’s voice. I sensed the woman’s eyes following me. The way appeared as I moved along. I followed it until the end. I closed my eyes one final time, then opened them up again.

Once more a child, I stood before the woman.  Wearing a crooked smile, she closed the book.  The pages were full, my story told.
