The Book of Directions




The book is older than it looks.  The leather is still supple, the gold embossed on the cover still bright.  "The book of Directions" is written above a symbol - arrows spreading out in a star.  You flip it open on a random page.  There is an arrow pointing down the centre of the page, in solid black ink.  Around it, the text is handwritten, but as clear as print.  It says only three words:  "You are here."
