1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
"When I hesitated, the woman inside gave me a cheery smile and walked up to the door, turning the dead bolt so she could open it. Her movements were surprisingly brisk and sprightly for a woman of her grandmotherly roundness and wrinkles.
'Hello dear', she said. 'I'm afraid we're closed today. Did you need something?'
She was fae. I could smell it on her--earth and forest and magic with a touch of something burning, air and salt water. I'd never smelled the like, and I've met two of the Grey Lords who rule the fae."
