creepy! i like it. it reminds me of fairytale-type things with an enchanted book :>

i do have a generally unrelated piece of advice that i found on tumblr: try not to use "was" too much. for example: instead of "it was cold," you'd write "the freezing air nipped at her exposed skin." using "was" a lot is a sign of summarizing. which is good if that's what you're going for (like showing a long amount of time passing) but odd-sounding in action :P

A great story. It reminds me of the Never Ending story when Bastian ends up reading the story in his school attic. I will read the rest of your stories. Well done.
