Dead Luna – Chapter 5
Amelia’s POV
I slowly become aware that I am lying on a soft velvety surface. I open my eyes, and can hardly believe what I am seeing! I’m in an immense room, almost entirely filled with shelves that appear to contain many thousands of neatly arranged books. There is an ornate table in the center of the room, with carvings of the moon phases adorning the legs, and a comfortable looking arm chair upholstered in dark blue velvet. I next notice 2 beautiful chandeliers hanging down just above the table, and the tall ceiling above has paintings of gods and goddesses, with the moon goddess in the very center of it all. Sconces places between each grouping of shelves give additional lighting to the room. Although I sense that the beautiful fixtures are completely unnecessary, and that the room actually would have had sufficient lighting regardless of the number of fixtures. But it certainly looks impressive to me.
Sitting up, I find that I had been lying upon a dark blue velvet upholstered chaise lounge. It feels real to my touch, but Im not positive that any of this is actually real. I suspect that everything I see within the room is nothing more than a projection of my expectations, if that makes any sense.

He has only now realized his error, but still he has much to learn. You could still teach him that. It’s your choice!”
