Ah, much better! Now you can read the book in front of you. As you lean over, something bright flits by. You turn your head to catch a glimpse at the mysterious object, but it disappears as quickly as it came. Thinking nothing of it, you begin to read:

"Welcome, weary traveler. You are not the first to venture here, and will most certainly not be the last. This is a land of many strange and wonderful things, but it is up to you to enjoy them to their fullest extent. We hope you will enjoy your stay here.

Regards,

The Founders

Briefly you wonder about what those strange things might be. You begin to look for a way out. Looking around the circular room you notice nothing but large windows, none of which have the ability to open. "Great, just great." In an instant, you notice a bright ball of energy appear. As you watch, it flits by you and hovers next to a large window overlooking a winding path. It pauses for a second, and then moves right through the window, and back into the room again.

"I wonder if I could do that..." you think, and you approach the window. You extend a hand, feeling the coolness of its hard flat surface. Pushing a little harder, you feel something start to give, and your hand goes all the way through! "What the hey, I've got nothing to lose..." you mutter, and you step through all the way.
