So it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I have a fun book in front of me, so here goes!
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
A line of ham and steaks shimmied past the Pirate Captain dancing little waltzes and tangos. He grabbed one as it went past and sunk his teeth into its glistening flesh. But instead of the warm meaty flavour of well-roasted ham, he got a mouthful of feathers.
'Mmpphhh,' said the Pirate Captain, waking with a start. The pirate with a scarf stood at his bedside with a glass of water.
'Dancing hams again, sir?'
'Mff-mffruff-ffooh,' said the Pirate Captain.
