LIBRARY AFTER 4 P.M

by GreyWolfDusk

AdventureChivalryGrimdarkHorrorLocal Protagonist

The library closes at four o’clock.Everyone in town knows that.For generations, people have whispered about what happens to those who remain after the final bell. Some call it a legend. Others call it superstition. Then two boys are found dead inside the library.There are no signs of an intruder. No broken locks. No explanation for how they died. Only strange cards are left behind.Each card bears the name of a game.And somewhere beneath the library, something has been waiting for someone willing to play.When a confident young boy discovers the records left behind by the ghost hunters who investigated the library before him, he becomes fascinated rather than afraid. He has always believed that there is nothing he cannot overcome.But the library does not offer ordinary games. Hide and Seek.Chess.Snakes and Ladders.Memory.Truth or Dare.And finally, a game played by statues. Each game has its own rules.Each victory comes with a price.And every game brings him closer to discovering what truly lives beneath the library.But while he believes intelligence and strength will be enough to survive, his younger sister sees something he does not.The library isn't trying to prove that humans can lose.It is playing because it wants to hunt. And once the final game begins, winning may no longer be enough to escape.
