UNCORRECTED ADVANCE EXCERF  \nCHAPTER 1  \no one was awake to see it happen,except Rick-man.  \nHe was taking one of his midnight prowls,pad-ding past the bedrooms of sleeping people,hopingto find something interesting to eat.He was nearlyalways hungry.Against the wall he found a dead fly,a choco-late chip,and a small piece of red crayon,which he also ate.He was not a picky cat.At the end of the hallway,he slippedinto Mr.Rylance's studio.In front of the drafting table was achair he liked,and Rickman heaved himself up.It took twotries because he was heftier than he should have been.  \nOn the drafting table,Mr.Rylance's big sketchbook layopen.Animals and buildings and people jostled on the pages.Some pictures had scribbles through them,some were verysketchy,and others looked like they were ready to make an  \nappearance in one of Mr.Rylance's finished graphic novels.But these were alljust ideas.They had no stories to go withthem yet.  \nWhen it happened,it made no noise,but Rickman saw thewhole thing.  \nThe black ink looked suddenly wet,like the pictures hadbeen drawn that very second.The lines glistened,then trem-bled.From every corner of the sketchbook,the ink beadedand started slithering across the pages toward the creasein the middle.As the ink moved,it left no smear behind it,just blank page.The lines of ink joined other lines,meldinginto weird shapes,sometimes smooth,sometimes pointy,getting larger.When they all met in the center of the book,they formed a big black splotch,about the size of a fist.For amoment it was motionless,as ifresting.  \nNormally,Rickman took no interest in the arts,but thiswas different.He put his paws on the edge of the draftingtable and leaned forward for a better view.  \nThe ink rippled,like dark water with something swim-ming beneath the surface.Then it was on the move again,flowing down the crease until it reached the bottom of thepage.It thickened along the edge,as though it was trying topour itself over—but it couldn't.It seemed to be stuck.  \nRickman's ears flattened against his skull.A thin tendrilof ink lifted from the page,maybe half an inch or so,like atiny arm desperate to escape quicksand.Then it got slurpedback in.  \nNext a thicker spike of ink rose up,straining,reachingover the edge of the sketchbook,one second,two,before itcollapsed back.Almost a minute passed and nothing hap-pened.  \nRickman yawned,showing his still-sharp teeth.This wasgetting boring.  \nAll at once the ink rippled,as if a stiff wind blew across it,and then the entire splotch contracted and rose into a littlemountain peak.It trembled,tensed,and then sprang.All theink lifted rig","cbCaihABYLLM2rPx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihABYLLM2rPx","pdf",2224404,"English","# Chapter 1\n## Midnight prowls and
