The Library of Unfinished Endings

A hidden library held thousands of books, each ending abruptly mid-sentence. Readers traveled from afar to finish the stories themselves. Some wrote heroic conclusions; others tragic. One day, a young woman found a book that told her own life up to that moment. Terrified, she shut it. After days of avoiding the library, she returned and opened the book again. For the first time, the final pages were blank. She dipped a quill into ink and wrote a single line: “Let me begin again.” As she did, every book in the room rustled — as though thousands of endings had just learned the courage to start anew.
