The Book of Names That Had No Pages

Identity Held in Silence

By GoldenSpeechPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

A mysterious book in a monastery contained no text, yet monks claimed it held every name ever lived. When a skeptical traveler opened it, he heard a faint whisper—his childhood nickname, spoken by a voice of someone long gone. Others heard promises, lies, or confessions. When asked how the book worked, the eldest monk said, “Names are not written with ink. They are written with remembering.” The book remained blank, heavy with invisible truths.
