Now, he is little more than a hollow memory, trapped in a hidden library where the remnants of banned books whisper from the shelves. Some characters remember their plots. Others repeat the same lines endlessly. But he has nothing-no past, no name, only a burned title on the spine of a book too damaged to be read.For years, he has accepted his fate. Until the night the outsider arrives.The first real human to enter the library in decades, the outsider brings with them curiosity, danger, and a single question: What happened to these stories? Their presence awakens something buried deep in the stacks, something the ghostly librarian has long tried to keep hidden.To reclaim himself, he must defy the librarian's warnings, navigate the labyrinth of forgotten narratives, and confront the truth of why he was erased. But the past is fragile, and as he pieces himself back together, one question looms:Was he erased to make people forget him-or because they feared what he represented?Prompt 40: You were once a character in a deleted story, now lost and memoryless in the library.
