The Mirror Library

Books That Read You Back

By GoldenSpeechPublished about a month ago 1 min read

A strange library contained only blank books. When someone opened one, words appeared describing a forgotten memory, a dream, or a hidden fear. A nervous boy picked up a book and watched as it filled with stories he’d never dared to speak aloud. Instead of frightening him, it comforted him—someone understood. The librarian whispered, “The library doesn’t reveal secrets. It gives them room to breathe.” When the boy left, his book stayed behind, slowly turning blank again, ready for the next reader.
