The Book Of Laughter And Forgetting の小説・ストーリー

"She's so bright, so amazing. It's okay to feel a little jealous.” "However, remember, you're Mrs. Ferguson." He shifted the conversation, his voice growing serious, "Remember to act properly. Let's pretend that the last few days were just a bad dream, okay? From now on, we'll live happily." Tania closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were calm. She whispered, "Okay." She planned to forget everything about that place, including Samuel, once she left. Samuel let out a sigh of relief, loosened his grip, and gave her shoulder a pat, "Go get dressed. I've had some new jewelry sent up for you.”

The memories hit me like a freight train, one after another, each one more devastating than the last. Richard's voice echoing in my head: *"You were always too trusting, Mica. Did you really think I loved a weak little girl like you?"* Kira's cruel laughter as she watched the massacre unfold, her eyes bright with malicious joy. The cries of the council members as they were slaughtered one by one, their screams cutting through the air like knives. And worst of all—the disappointed look in my father's eyes just before they slit his throat. Not anger, not fear. Disappointment. In me. In what I'd allowed to happen.

Nyra whispered. ⸻ The Mother’s voice broke. ⸻ “We all forgot.” ⸻ Nyra laughed softly. ⸻ A sad laugh. ⸻ “No.” ⸻ She looked around the library. ⸻ “You didn’t forget.” ⸻ The shelves trembled. ⸻ “You chose to.” ⸻ Silence. ⸻ Nobody could deny it. ⸻ 🌙 The Truth About Nyra A hidden memory emerged. 📖✨

She had made her choice, and she would not dwell on things that could not be changed. On a quiet afternoon, Lyra found herself in the heart of an ancient library—a place she had visited many times before in her quests for forgotten memories. The library was vast, its shelves filled with scrolls and tomes that stretched back through the ages, documenting the lives, histories, and memories of countless souls. Dust hung in the air, illuminated by shafts of light that filtered through the tall windows. It was a place of peace, a sanctuary for those seeking knowledge.

As she had been chained and waiting on him, she had cried no loud cries, only waited in silence for her death. As the years passed, many told tales of a woman riding on the back of a dragon and hearing them both laugh in joy as they flew over. It was said in later years when they were no longer seen or heard, that only the dragon prince's bride would hear them, thus indicating the new queen-to-be. This is the beginning of the Dragon Clutch and the legend of the Laughing Dragon. THE END

he replied and I nodded slowly. "But for a change , have you tried accepting the fact that some things never just go away by forcing them" "Just like me " he said and I bursted out laughing. "Aww , you have such a beautiful laughter " he said and I awkwardly stopped laughing , and now it was his turn to laugh. "Anyways , like I was saying " he continued as he sobered up, "Right now the only way forward is to accept that part of you that you want to forget so much"

The Witch of Neverwhere. I sighed loudly. I seemed to have forgotten about what she said. How could I forget such things that are important? I wanted to bang my head against the counter for forgetting things. Why am I such a forgetful person? “You forgot, didn’t you?”, Lyv smiled gently, tilting her head to the side slightly.

And yet, buried in the middle of all those impossible lines, were three words I recognized. Do not forget. My pulse quickened. “Forget what?” I whispered, staring at the page. The room didn’t answer. For a moment, I wanted to tear the page out, burn it, destroy whatever it was that had come from me. But then I remembered Nia’s laugh, Wayne’s little hum, Dexter’s stubbornness when his handwriting didn’t line up straight. I couldn’t bring my darkness into this place. So, I closed the book, locked it in the drawer, and smiled at the empty room as though it were full of life, then I left to go get lunch too, then the day was over.
