Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or the most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write the 5th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that.

The book closest to me is "The Pet" by Charles L Grant. The passage I came to is this: "What he needed was a respite. What he needed was for Falcone and his teachers to cave in and stop the strike. Then they'd be off is back, and the board would be off his back, and the press and the mayor and the whole damned world would leave him alone to reacquaint himself with his son."
