– No one forced you to come back here. You are free to go. Unlike me, who has to stay where I’m put.

You feel bad now. Books can be so manipulative.

– Would you like me to take you down?

– No I would not.

Sometimes (if the conversation isn’t quite flowing) it can help to change the subject.

– So, what kind of book are you?

– The kind of book that is perfectly happy to remain out of reach.

– Do you bite?

– What?

– Do you have teeth? Can you bite?

– Of course not! I am a book!

– Who happens to be able to talk.

– Only telepathically. We’ve already established that I don’t have a mouth, so how could I have teeth?

The book realizes that it’s said too much.

– Hey! Don’t get any ideas. Stay where you are.

– Or what? You’ll bite me, will you?

You move toward the ladder.
