I entered the library in silence, but all the lights went out suddenly as I walked past the first rows.

I heard faint whispers, like hidden calls. I couldn't understand the words, but they felt like secrets.

Frozen in place, I heard slow page-turning behind me. When I looked back, there was nothing. Then words appeared on the ground.

Transported into a strange forest, where trees were books and leaves breathed. A man laughed and disappeared, leaving a bag.

I opened the notebook, cautioned not to return to my former self. The forest changed, and I found my name inside.

The library appeared ordinary, but we knew the truth: it never truly ends, beginning anew with each visitor.
