In the far East corner lay a book; a dusty old tome eagerly awaiting a passerby to flip through it's pages to unleash m a g i c~

Decades pass when finally a young girl chances upon this dear and humble treasure. She had been told at an early age that magic and fairy tales are fake. But reading the cover of book "Enchanted" made her skin tingle with anticipation. As she opened the book, she noticed with disappointment that the pages were blank. She expected a dazzling story with enchanted forests and shiny dresses that sparkled as though it were part of the moon itself. She began to hear quiet flapping sounds...
She figured it was her stomach grumbling from not eating breakfast that morning until suddenly she was realized surrounded by butterflies. They were beautiful and so delicate looking. She hesitantly held out her hand and a single butterfly landed on her hand. The book began bursting with a bright intense glow. Next thing she knew, she was in an enchanted forest, wearing a beautiful dress surely forged by the stars themselves. The butterflies began to dance around her. There was a certain glow about this place, she herself was sparkling. All night she frolicked, and danced, and laughed like she had never laughed before. When morning came, a white light began to surround the place as she was slowly lifted up. She yawned contently as her eyes gently closed. Her heart monitor stopped with a final -beep- as she passed on with a smile. The book by her side closed and awaited the day when a new person would pass along by; perhaps another that needs a little magic to show how beautiful life can truly be.
