Lori bought the book from the bookseller and went up the street towards the heights of the island.<br />
When the night fell Lori went to bed. She was impatient to discover the mysterious book. She read the<br />
first pages. The story was set in a forest of Kansas where teenagers camped. The latter were sud<strong>de</strong>nly<br />
surprised by strange noises. A supernatural creature roamed the wood: the Wendigo. Its shadow<br />
seemed to be that of a tall thin man, but its skin was <strong>de</strong>siccated and it had long sharp-edged claws. The<br />
creature attacked the camp. It moved very quickly and lacerated its victims the one after the other<br />
Lori was still reading the story when sud<strong>de</strong>nly she found herself literally in the novel. The air was icy.<br />
She heard howls and started to run. She was sheltering behind a tree when she felt cold bla<strong>de</strong>s tears<br />
her back. She crumbled on the ground. The Wendigo had caught her. Then it hunted down the last<br />
survivors. A white veil was falling in front of Lori’s eyes while she was lying on a bed of ivy. The howl<br />
ceased and the forest became again quickly quiet.<br />
The next morning, she was found <strong>de</strong>ad in her bed. She seemed to be sleeping. The book was open next<br />
to her and a branch of ivy sprouted from the pages. Kyle had warned her about the book. Now it was too<br />
late.
