Babel Life, possible lives hidden in Borges' Library of Babel

Borges imagined a library holding every possible book. Babel Life is a small homage: 81 books, each with its own hexagon, wall and shelf address, each telling a life someone could have lived. The stories and ideas are mine; AI helped me write them in literary style and build the website. It is non-commercial and not affiliated with Borges' estate. Feedback welcome.
