    The library was unnaturally quiet, its silence broken only by the muffled footfalls of a man named Caraig. In his large, trembling hands, he clutched a chainsaw smeared with crimson stains.

    Caraig's right-hand throbbed in pain, a sharp reminder of his recent encounter. He limped through the library's vast hall, dragging his chainsaw along the polished wooden floor.

    His attention shifted as he spotted the marble statue standing elegantly to one side. Despite the agony that twisted his features, a cruel smile crept onto his face.

    Caraig revved up the chainsaw, the harsh sound echoing through the otherwise silent library. The statue's stoic expression seemed to mock him as he approached, chainsaw whirring dangerously.

    His chainsaw bit into the statue, the engines screamed in protest, drowning every other noise in the room. His cruel smile broadened as stone dust began to fly.

    Suddenly, Caraig staggered, the pain searing through his body. His grip weakened, and the chainsaw slipped from his grasp, landing with a thud on the floor.

    He looked down at the chainsaw lying aimlessly on the ground, its growl slowly fading. He knelt to pick it up but stumbled, falling onto the cold library floor.

    The pain was unbearable now. He groaned softly, clutching his right hand tightly. His eyes fell shut as he struggled to stay conscious.

    Suddenly, the library doors were thrown open. The guards had arrived. Caraig's bloodied figure lying on the floor evoked looks of horror from them.

    They quickly approached Caraig, guns drawn. The chainsaw paint-covered and silent now was a chilling sight to behold amidst the otherwise serene library setting.

    Quiet whispers filled the library as they called for medical assistance, holstered their weapons, and secured the chainsaw. Caraig remained motionless on the floor, the pain too unbearable.

    The paramedics arrived promptly, their arrival announced by the flashing lights piercing the library's tranquility. They quickly got to work, treating Caraig's severely injured hand.

    As Caraig was wheeled out by the paramedics, the guards began their investigation. The chainsaw, now a silent killer, was hauled away for forensic examination.

    The library returned to its usual calm once the chaos subsided. Books, forever the silent observers, beckoned visitors back into the world of imagination and knowledge.

    The marble statue, though damaged, maintained its composed stand in the corner of the library, a testament to the shocking events of the day.
