Trapped In The Library

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

The scent of aged paper, a comforting perfume of countless stories, usually greeted Vivi and Ellie like an old friend as they pushed open the heavy oak doors of the Willow Creek Public Library. Today, however, the air felt different. It was thick, still, and unnervingly quiet. Sunlight, usually a cheerful presence filtering through the tall, arched windows, seemed muted, casting elongated shadows that danced with an unusual stillness.
