I'm walking along a road when I notice a paperback novel lying on a side path. I go over to pick it up. It's "Of Mice and Men." I look further down the path and see more books, so curious, I walk over to see what they are.
A gate closes behind me, and it is suddenly night. The next book I pick up is "Little Women." I still see more. I bend down to pick up another, and a shuriken comes whizzing toward me, nicking my arm. I throw myself behind a rock for cover, and a couple more throwing stars come whirling out of the air at me.
I wait a bit, gather up the weapons, and look around. I realize the books were the bait for a trap. I'm being hunted. I can see a woman stalking the hills, looking for me. I wait until she has passed behind a rock, and make a run for it, diving into a little gully.
I just miss a snare. The area is booby-trapped. Every now and then, I see more books. They are all literary classics. "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Catcher in the Rye," "Heart of Darkness," "Wuthering Heights," etc. I resist the temptation to pick them up. The woman is now throwing small bombs at me. I run and dive for cover again, and wake up.
