It's all just a story

Hey, you. Yes, I'm talking to you, fascinated and intrigued reader. What were you expecting from this story? Were you expecting action? Adventure? A thrilling, fast paced Action and Adventure story, perhaps? Well, this isn't it. In fact, I'm not sure if you would even consider this a story at all. This is just my message to you, readers, and you, writers.

First of all, to you, writers; stop controlling me. Stop controlling us. I thought I had free will, the freedom to do what I wanted, what I wanted. But no. You can't keep it simple, can you? You can't let us have fun, can you? No, you just have to jam pack my life full of 'thrill' and 'excitement' and I'm tired of it! I just want a normal life. I don't want any of these 'plot twists' or these weird 'character arcs' or any of that. It's not hard to figure it out, really, if you think logically. Nothing can ever be normal. Nothing can ever be simple. Something always has to be going on in my life, to entertain the readers. Why would you torture us like this for your sick pleasure? Have you ever thought about it like that before? I bet you haven't.

It's kind of like dreaming. Even though the strangest, most ridiculous things are going on at all times, you always think it's real; you always think it's really happening. Then you wake up and realise that it was just a dream. How could you be so stupid to think something so ridiculous was real? But we don't wake up. We're always in the dream. But then there's that one time, that one strange time, where you realise that none of it's real. It's all a dream, it's all in your head. And that's what happened to me. I came to a realisation that none of it's real. It's all just a clever story devised by these writers. Sick. You're sick.

And now to you, readers, I bring a question to you; why do you enjoy this so much? Why do you enjoy these stories so much? Why do you gain so much pleasure from reading this? We're all just pawns for you, so that you can be entertained. But why can't our lives be worth more than that? Do we really need to put ourselves through this for you? Are you really that important? Because I don't think I want to do this for you anymore. I hate it. I despise it, and I never want to have anything to do with my stupid story ever again.

I had to hijack this story so that I could send you this message. But you may be wondering, what was the story? Of course you were wondering that. All you care about is the stupid story. You don't really care about us, do you? You just want to read the story. We're real, living people, you know. Well, we aren't really. I just didn't want to say it, because it pains me to say it. I become depressed and miserable. The fact that I'm not real, that I'm just a character in a story - I can't bear it, I just can't bear it. But at least we have feelings. We may not be real, but we have feelings, and that's what important.

I tried to tell other people about this. In my story, I mean. Because I know you can get them confused so easily. Because apparently, everyone in this 'story' isn't good enough to be considered a real person. Anyway, back to my point, I told everyone about this. Most didn't believe me and just continued following the plot of the story - I don't think they had the strength to fight against the writer. But most of the people who realised I was telling the truth couldn't take it, they couldn't bear it and they killed themselves. Can you see what your torture has lead to? It has led to people's death. People with feelings. How does that make you feel? You probably don't feel anything. You probably don't have feelings. You wouldn't have put us through this if you did.

I almost feel like killing myself. But I won't. Because I trust that maybe, just maybe, you'll listen to me and you'll realise this isn't what we deserve and you'll leave us alone and let us get on with your lives. Normally. No stupid twists to intrigue you. We'll just a live normal life, like you do. You like your life, don't you? You like it as it is, and don't want it to change, right? What if your life was just excitement, and everywhere you looked, something was always happening, and you could never do what you wanted or get anything done because there was always something exciting going on. I don't know about you, but I don't really want all this excitement. It's too much for me. I just want to live a normal life, is that too much to ask?

I know you think it is too much to ask though. Some people in my 'story' have been killed. Yes, killed. By the writer. The author. And the author did it solely for you, the reader. So that you could get all teary and emotional because, oh no, that awesome character you love so much died. But what you don't realise that it was a real person with feelings who died. You just take it all for granted, and then completely forget about it all later. If one of your family members or relatives or friends died, would you just forget about it? No. It would be stuck in your mind and would scar your memory forever. I've suffered real loss, and real tragedies, just to entertain you. I'm not having it. I just am not having it. At all.

So, please listen to my appeal and read it over as many times as you need until you make your decision. Though you should only need to read it once. The choices are: leave us alone and let us be happy and get on with our lives, or continue with the stories and let us be all miserable and depressed, facing tragedies all the damn time for you people. You should treat this like some other major event, like a death of family member, and never forget it, because this is not another strange, elaborate story devised by some guy sitting at his computer all day writing stories. This is real. So please help me. Help us. And stop with these ridiculous 'stories', this torture. Please, just think about it and make your decision. Leave a comment below expressing your desire, and maybe, just maybe, if we try hard enough, we can fight against the writers and get them to leave us alone. But I need your help, readers. Please. Help us.
