Can you breathe it?

Dust flitting on the breeze from the lifted cover.

Ink saturating a yellowing parchment.

Glue holding a faint trace of long dried chemicals.

Can you see it?

Black plastic and smooth edges covered in glass.

Blue glowing light as the digital device powers on.

Images and links to an endless array of stories.

Can you feel it?

The weight of the tales awaiting consumption.

The anticipation of insight into another world.

The sheer roaring power in the written words.

Can you sense it?

A great escape.

A grand adventure.

An exquisite love affair.

Read it!

Book life.

Read life.

Written life.

Welcome to the dream...
