"Finally!" Sarah whispered, a triumphant grin spreading across her face. She'd been hunting for a first edition of *Frankenstein* for ages, and now she had one, albeit a very well-loved one. The cover was loose, the pages brittle, but it was perfect.

Her hands shook as she unfolded the letter. A thrill zapped through her. It was a message from the past! She felt lightheaded. She was already mentally crafting a story around it.
