The Whispering Library

By GoldenSpeechPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

Lila, an aspiring writer, discovered a hidden section in her city’s oldest library. The shelves were lined with books that weren’t listed anywhere else. When she opened one, she heard whispers describing her life as if the book had been written about her.

Curious and terrified, Lila read more. Each book revealed secrets about people she knew and events that hadn’t happened yet. Soon, the whispers began guiding her decisions, both minor and critical. She realized the library itself was alive, shaping reality with its stories.

The climax came when the whispers warned her of a disaster at the publishing house where she worked. Following their instructions, she prevented the catastrophe, but the library demanded a price: she had to become its permanent librarian, forever guarding its knowledge. Lila accepted, understanding that some stories are meant to live only within the pages.
