Prompt: Unfolding Stories mural. An old city library wall features a mural of a towering bookshelf. The 'living' graffiti shows glowing, ethereal books physically sliding out of the painted shelves and hovering in the air. As they open, soft light and whispers of names spill out into the quiet street. Respectful, cinematic night lighting.
