You Gotta Read This

"Kevin, let's leave. I don't want to explore this place any further."

So goes the first page of the book you are reading. On a bus headed to California, you skim on this ragged, yellowed book you've bought on a flea market in New Orleans, three hours before you rode the bus. You sit beside an old woman immersed in her embroidery. At the moment, you don't have the slightest idea why you've spent five hundred dollars on a book that ought to be dumped in the trash. Maybe vintage, you thought.

But there is this eerie feeling that draws you to read the rest of the book. You yawn. It will take six more hours before you arrive at your house, and you've got nothing else with you but three things (see your equipment below). You feel sleepy, but the mere presence of the pocket-size, hard-bound book keeps you awake.

Do you:

• Read the next entries of the book?
• See if you could find things to do with your things?
• Sleep, but tell the woman next to you first to wake you up before the trip ends?
