Another 
Thursday_Prompt 365-word challenge, this on the theme of 'return'. And while I was walking down to do some shopping today, I suddenly realized that a library book return could qualify, and gee, I had a fantasy world librarian character I've been working on ideas with... the rest of the story pretty much wrote itself in a few minutes before I got to the store, and when I got back home to actually write it down, the first pass was 408 words, so not too much over. Just took a few tweaks to get it to the right word count.
And picture used for the thumbnail is here

I will admit that I first ran into that idea elsewhere... in Dave van Domelan's 'ASH' universe there was a scroll like that which was written by a Greek woman back in the time of ancient Athens, as an early women's liberation movement. It's a neat idea, though, and when you have magical spells that can cast themselves whenever anybody looks at them (like most Glyph spells in D&D) it's an obvious if mundane thing to pull off.
ASH is more comic book superhero fiction, based on a universe the author created for an ongoing gaming campaign back when he was in University. He's been writing it off and on for decades now, starting back on Usenet. But, well, gods aren't an uncommon thing in comic books anyway, and ancient scrolls are hardly an unknown thing either. But given it's really more of a self-published thing, I'm not surprised when people don't know about it.
