1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to the page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences to LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).

Okay, I had to cheat a little. The book on top of my pile that was the absolute closest I JUST started. Like 5 minutes ago. So I grabbed the book directly under it, that I just finished tonight.

 

I see Claire inside the gates and my heart lurches; she's talking to a friend, her face bright. She's laughing. She looks up and sees me; she waves. I wave back, but I feel as if she's on the shore and I'm at sea. She thinks I'm waving to say hello, but I'm really drowning, like in that poem we read once in English.
