The spirits or whatever they are are also tuned to good or bad places, y’know. Like people are. But mostly spells and stuff are how one uses them and not good or bad by themselves. But you gotta be careful, so sure.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">She continues</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;">  “Second, the book can always be closed.  Open.  Shut.  Open. Shut.<br/><br/>  “We’ve got Mike. Mike’s here. He won’t let anything happen.”</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">I shrug, and Mike asks to see the book. He’s skeptical, as I guess he should be.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">  “Okay, give it a look. Let’s see what you see on the cover and inside.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">I slide the book across the table to him. It seems to want to go to him too. Maybe because he’s the one who bought the book, I don’t know. I’m reluctant to take my fingers away and the book seems to tug at me as I do let it go.</span></span><br/>
