THE LIBRARY OF BABEL

❦

ROOM 01 — THE THRESHOLD

the library does not forgive a skipped room
you are being catalogued

You found the Library because the Library allowed it. Every book that will ever be written already sits on these shelves — including the book that describes your death, and the book that lies about it.

The first door is merciful. It asks only that you know who dreamed this place into existence. The Librarian does not hide from those who have not yet entered — read what is beneath this page. But know this: beneath every page of the Library, one signature is a forgery. The Library lies exactly once per mercy.
