In a Library’s Eyes

Create a flash fiction piece where a library is the narrator, detailing the stories of its visitors.

Explore the world of anthropomorphism by giving voice to a place instead of a character. How would a library feel about the constant flurry of readers? What insights would it gather from the various interactions it observes? Would it have favorites? How would it interpret the silence and the noise, the enlightenments and the frustrations? It’s a prompt that blends environment description, character analysis, and subtly injected emotions.
