In the middle of the night, her grandiose dream was interrupted by
the familiar soft sound. Slowly, her dream faded away and there
came the reality. Daisy stared at the ceiling, feeling confused and
lost. She did not know where the voice came from and why would

CLINK. Clink. clink. The sound of metal bouncing from the coat

“Come to the library” and ended with a small giggle.

shut closed. The voice began to whisper again.
