If you could read a book containing all that has happened and will ever happen in your life, would you? If you choose to read it, you must read it cover to cover.
Thanks for the great idea, Tom!
The cover looks more girly than I imagined. Quite dainty. Quite… Pink. Quite flowery, too. But it looks like it’s made of strong, solid material. I could use it as a chopping board, if I wanted to. I could use it to hit an unsuspecting fellow on the head or — to be less brutal and to be more practical — to hit an assaulter of human or animal form as an act of self-defence.
I look at the volume in my hands. Should I open it? Should I not? Oh, to open or not to open, that is the question.
The being (a burly and muscular angel, not a whispy Gandalf-like or Dumbledore-type person as one would expect) who gave it to me gave me a fair enough warning: “If you choose to read it, you must read it from cover to cover.”
Cover to cover, eh? The first few pages I could handle. I’d love to mull over the 24 chapters though I know there’ll be sections I won’t be particularly proud of. But I have mixed thoughts about reading the pages from chapter 25 onwards. What if I won’t like what I’ll read? What if I do? Would knowing my future in any way affect the way I live my now?
Don’t get me wrong. I would love to know about my future, too. But just snippets of it — not the full details. And not so much that I would feel like I’ve already lived through my whole life by reading a book in one sitting.
Oh but it looks so tempting. Oh but the pages seem so rich and inviting. Oh…
I take a deep breath and place my right palm on the back cover and my left on the front.
I raise the book up.
“Hey, angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here — thanks, but no thanks!”
The muscular fellow appears as I say the words aloud. He gives me a wink before he makes off with the pink flowery book.
Sure, the prospect of discovering what’s in store for me was enticing. But I shall live my life unwrapping each day as a present, one day at a time, one page at a time.
How about you? Will you?

scribbles and stories 
I wouldn’t know as of now: Yes AND No? :D
You must only choose one! :D
For a second there I thought you were going to end with: “He winked and said, ‘You know the end of the book hasn’t been written yet, right?’ before he makes off with the pink flowery book.”
Aha! That would make a good twist. :D
