The Empty Library Novels & Stories

After receiving all the needed lectures for the day, I went to the library, mayhaps, I'll find something interesting to read. The library looked rusted, dusty, and messy.

Holding a hand over her nose, Diana entered the well-lit library with Rudolph in tow. Tall columns with sections for books with multiple rows, stretching vertically from the ceiling to the ground, and horizontally, from the end of the wall where the door began to the other end of the wall, where the door ended.

The sky was turning into a "Blue Screen of Death." ​"Nora!" Julian turned, his eyes full of the 180 volumes of history. He looked at her, and the recognition was so deep it felt like a physical blow.

The full library is the correspondence. He wrote in the pocket notebook: May city library visit — the six other rooms. The honest conditions already present: lower ceiling, forty centimetre warmth, reaching shelves, internal window, four-sided carrel, courtyard reflected light. All accidents. The library building its honest conditions in the wrong order. The section puts them in the right places and makes them intentional. The library is full of honest conditions it does not know it has.

I sat alone at a corner table, the dim glow of my laptop screen casting faint shadows across the polished wood. My fingers moved steadily over the keyboard, each click punctuating the silence.

Kiara Kerr has more loyalty than that. So: the right thing. I did the right thing, and I repeat it like a silent mantra as I push into an empty room. The door creaks under my palm, heavy and stiff, and the air tastes like old paper as I step into a darkened library. Moonlight shines through huge glass balcony doors, gleaming against rows and rows of leather book spines. Perfect. I’ve always liked libraries—their hushed reverence.
