The Anti Series – Book 1: Augury
Introduction
I stared at the words swimming right in front of me, my eyes glazed over from too much reading. I stifled a yawn and glanced out the window, only realizing how dark it was already. I had been reading all day.
I reached up and clicked off the over-head light and then lay back down on my bed, shoving my book underneath my pillow before closing my eyes. I tried calming my mind but it just wouldn't work. I sat up, clicked the light back on and grabbed the book from my pillow. I stared at it, silently fuming.
"I hate you," I told it, not caring how silly it was to be talking to inanimate object. "I'm only reading you because I don't understand how everyone thinks you're so awesome and the best thing since Harry Potter." I threw the book against the wall in obvious disgust, feeling slightly relieved when it landed on the floor in an odd way, its nice shiny black front cover bent as well as some of its crisp white pages.
I glared at it again and childishly stuck my tongue out at it. And with a satisfied smile, I turned off my over-head lamp for the last time that night and promptly went to sleep.
