Library,

Full of books.

Shh!

Says the librarian.

This is not normal though.

She says it as if

It were saving her

Life by people being quiet.

I wonder what she thinks about.

The librarian,

Always thinking if the kids talked,

The demons would come for her soul

Because

She

Sinned.

Most would think this

Normal,

Just a way to be

Religious,

But it gets even worse.

If she says anything

Other that

Shh!

She believes the

Possessed books

Will kill her.

Do all librarians think this?

This specific librarian’s belief

Came from when she was a

Young girl.

Her step mother would

Hit her with a belt

If she said,

God.

“Don’t use the Lord’s name in vain!”

She would cry.

These memories shaped her.

They hurt her.

They killed her soul.

The librarian was a quiet lady

Who always read

Literary.

No signs,

No tags,

Only books and

Special words.
