Are you the only person in the world still to read the Da Vinci Code?

Never fear... a version is online at Here Be Monsters

The laughing girl with the dancing mouth and smiling eyes ran ahead of him towards the looming majesty of the Great Pyramid. Jack Kirk ran after her but, his feet sinking and slipping in the hot desert sand, no matter how hard he tried to catch her, she remained just out of reach.The Sphinx looked on inscrutably.Kirk felt the warm winds of a thousand years blow over him.Straining every muscle, he reached the smiling girl with the laughing mouth and dancing eyes, the girl he loved, the woman of his dreams. Just as his fingers closed upon the fragile Egyptian muslin of her haute couture Prada blouse, the smiling girl with the dancing feet and laughing nose dissolved into a dark mist that his hands passed helplessly through. He had lost her. The girl of his dreams. The woman he loved. He had lost her again. A toothless crone selling plaster pyramids by the side of the road cackled. Kirk felt her contempt burn into him like fire.

If he gets 40 comments he's promised to post chapter 2
