Story
Sarah was sitting in her apartment when the doorbell rang. She wasn’t expecting anyone, so she opened the door cautiously. To her surprise, there was a small package on the doorstep with no return address. She bent down to pick it up, feeling both curious and a little nervous. Who could have sent this?
The package was light but felt solid, as if there was something important inside. Sarah brought it inside and placed it on the kitchen table. She carefully cut open the tape and lifted the flaps. Inside, there was a plain, old book with a leather cover. She opened the first page, and there was a note: "To Sarah, who never stops searching for adventure."
She felt a shiver run down her spine. She couldn’t understand how anyone knew her so well, but there was something exciting about the mystery. She spent the next few hours reading the book, and each page seemed to reveal more about a life she didn’t remember living. It was as if someone had written down her entire history, even though she had no recollection of the events described.
As the evening wore on, Sarah felt a mix of awe and uncertainty. Who had sent this book? And why?
