I posted the post and waited anxiously for a response, biting my thumb and continuously shaking my legs before finally getting the first comment.
'There's a book like that?'
'Wow, I'd definitely love to read it. Let me know if you find the name.'
'I've never heard of it, but I would love to read it. So let us know if you find the name of it.'
As I read the responses, the core in my body shook, and my phone slipped from my hand. They all said they hadn't heard of it?
I could feel my body trembling in confusion and fear.
They would like to read it? But I was sure these were the same people who had dragged the characters of the novel with me. They clearly knew of the characters... Right?
Or was I mistaken? Maybe I had forgotten about the name? But I didn't ask for the name. I simply asked if anyone knew of the content, but they all seemed to genuinely not know.
So... How did I know of the world in that novel if there was never a book to begin with?
