The Library of Unfinished Endings
Where Every Story Waits for You
A hidden library held thousands of books, each ending abruptly mid-sentence. Readers traveled from afar to finish the stories themselves. Some wrote heroic conclusions; others tragic. One day, a young woman found a book that told her own life up to that moment. Terrified, she shut it. After days of avoiding the library, she returned and opened the book again. For the first time, the final pages were blank. She dipped a quill into ink and wrote a single line: “Let me begin again.” As she did, every book in the room rustled — as though thousands of endings had just learned the courage to start anew.

The Moon Collector
A hermit lived atop a cliff, capturing moonlight in jars. People called him mad. But each jar glowed with a different hue — pale blue for regret, silver for dreams, gold for forgiveness. One evening, a child climbed the cliff asking for a jar of courage. The hermit handed him an empty one. The child frowned, but as he walked home down the winding path, the jar brightened with every brave step. By the time he reached the village, it glowed brighter than all the others. The hermit, watching from afar, whispered, “Moonlight never lived in the sky — only in the choices we make in darkness.”
