Still Standing

I flipped open the book Percy had handed me with a gentle grasp. My hands shook slightly as scanned the pages.

At first I was confused. Not a single page had writing past the first. The rest of the pages were yellowing much like the first, but not a single word rested in it. The thickness of the book shocked me too. Why would you make a book so extremely thick to just write one page worth of information?

It was hard to make out the sloppy text written in... green. But when I finally made out the meaning and instructions, I realized that this book was meant to conquer the impossible.

As I read, I couldn't help but feel hope.

My heart couldn't contain itself and I was surprised Percy couldn't hear it's erratic beat.

The writing stared up at me and ignited a fire in me that I had thought was extinguished. I could resurrect a whole group of bodies laying together in a room.
