Excerpt
Skylee
crept into the room, carefully avoiding the open suitcases, shoeboxes and
clothing scattered on the floor. Dressing for the wedding had created quite a
mess. She had wanted to clean it up, but her
almost stepsister insisted that her father had hired people to do such
things.
As
she approached the package, her pulse raced. Skylee normally opened a present
slowly and carefully like a doctor performing surgery, but her excitement made
her eagerly tear through the wrapping.
Inside,
cushioned on a bed of crumpled paper, was a brown leather book bound with four
gold rings. A diamond shape was carved into the front cover. She held the book
close to her heart realizing that it could be her father’s journal, a look into
his soul. Turning it over, she examined it more closely and tried to imagine
him holding it in his hands. Despite her feeling of excitement, a deep sadness
washed over her.
Skylee
reached up and pushed back the heavy curtains, flooding the room with sunlight.
As she opened the book, a musty odor filled the room even though the cover
looked new. She thumbed through the crisp white pages to find page after page
of strange hand written lettering, which appeared to be an ancient language.
Skylee squinted at the lettering and tried to make out the words.
Holding the book closer to her face, she decided it was a language she had never seen before. Her heart sank in disappointment. It wasn’t her father’s journal. Why...she wondered...why did my dad want me to have a book that I can’t read?
