The Bookstore That Sells Stories from the Future

In a quiet corner of the city, nestled between ordinary shops, lies a bookstore unlike any other. It is said that within its dusty shelves, you won’t find books written by authors of the past or present—but stories from the future. No one knows exactly how the bookstore acquires its collection, but those who have stumbled upon it claim that its books foretell events yet to come.

Visitors describe the shop as unassuming from the outside, with no grand sign to mark its presence. The wooden door creaks open to reveal rows of bookshelves filled with titles no one has ever heard of. Some books have dates that have not yet arrived, while others contain names of future bestsellers long before they are even written. Patrons have reported purchasing books that later materialized in the real world, sometimes word for word.

The bookstore operates under strict, almost supernatural rules. Books cannot be taken without permission, and those who attempt to steal them find themselves lost in an endless loop of shelves, unable to escape until they return what they took. The shopkeeper, an enigmatic figure who seems to know each customer personally, warns against reading certain books—especially those that reveal personal futures.

Rumors persist that a select few have found books chronicling their own lives, detailing events before they happen. Some claim to have read their own deaths, while others see paths they never considered. The question remains: If you found a book with your name on it, would you read it?

The bookstore continues to be a mystery, appearing and disappearing in different locations as if it follows its own logic. Some believe it is a portal to another dimension, while others think it is merely a trick of an eccentric collector. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain—if you ever find yourself in a bookstore that feels out of place, take a closer look at the titles. You may just be holding a story from the future.
