The Girl Who Wrote With Feathers

She didn’t write stories — she wrote people.

By GoldenSpeechPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

Amara was a scribe in a forgotten empire, her hands calloused, her ink black as night. When her quills ran dry, she plucked feathers from crows. Then, her words began to move.

She wrote her mother back to life, her enemies into oblivion, her dreams into skies filled with wings. But power breeds hunger. She began rewriting others — changing faces, fates, even memories. Eventually, she tried to rewrite herself:

“Amara, who never dies.”

The ink bled. The letters twisted. Her body turned to parchment, her hair to crow feathers.

Now, crows gather in libraries and temples, leaving a single black quill behind. Those who write with it never finish their story — because she finishes it for them.
