Book Banning In Virginia Novels & Stories

Ever since what happened on Mon's 'execution', even though no one remembered a thing, Doctor Bai had asked the king to stop any form of literature in the kingdom. From books to tiny strips of paper as long as it contains a letter or two were burned down to ashes, allowing to legalize it only for the castle's own use. "My books! Please don't do this to my store, sire!" cried an old woman to a soldier who was gathering all the books that she was selling in an open area, preparing to get them burned. She was doing her best to stop them from ransacking her store.

She tuned him out completely, eyes fixed on the wall clock, counting down the seconds until she could leave. When he paused for breath, she stood abruptly. The principal blinked, thrown off. “Sit back down, young lady. I’m not finished,” he declared and continued. "As I was saying… you are hereby banned from the library for the remainder of your time at this institution. Permanently.

Don’t look weak. She stood. “Then from today onward,” she said, “no more reading room. All access to the library will be revoked. I will personally control every book you’re allowed to read.” “Mama, no—” “And,” she continued, ignoring me, “your extracurriculars this week are canceled. You’ll spend your after-school hours copying federal statutes by hand. Your fingers need practice, and your mind needs discipline.” I looked down. My chest burned, not from anger, but from shame. From loss.

She already knew of at least one church that would be protesting. Ciara, the proprietor of the Wiccan bookstore, had assured her that they protested everything. “If they protest your store, you’re doing it right.” Ciara grinned. “You should come see my Banned Book section.”
