    AOL Journals need cut-tags

    Instructions:
    1. Grab the nearest book. Don't search for something cool. Grab what's actually closest to you.
    2. Open the book to page 123.
    3. Find the fifth sentence.
    4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

    Mine:  "Some even claimed to have glimpsed him on the deeper levels, where the chill was so profound it froze the piss in your bladder."

    Hmm.  Good times.

    The book is my Popular Fiction book, the short story in question being Clive Barker's "Down, Satan!"  Didn't have to read that one for class...
