In the attic, you see all sorts of junk that probably one would see
in a regular attic. It had stuffed animals, soiled gym mats, a broken
mirror, a false skeleton, some army blankets, a seven-armed
candelbrum, etc. You pull the gym mats over to the middle of the attic
and wrap yourself up in the army blankets. You take the book out from
under your coat and you see the title printed in the gap between the
two snakes:
THE NEVERENDING STORY
You open the book and begin to read.
