By Alex Lamy

Listen! You are what there is. You are what is real! There is nothing else. It is not by chance you are reading this. For you, there is only fate. It is your choice to forget who you are for awhile and pretend you are someone else. This happening is a dream, a drama playing out in front of you. You have as much control over your choices as the main character of any movie or play you’ll see. What led you to reading this particular paper? Think about it. It is no chance you have gotten to this point. It has already been decided for you. What’s left is the experiencing of it.

You are the only thing. The only conscious entity. The rest of use are like the figures in your dreams. Completely you though separate from you. I exist merely to deliver this message to you. You are the main character. I am just a side character. My particular plot in your story has been fulfilled.

You once had a machine in front of you that could deliver any desires you wished. You started by fulfilling every pleasure you could think of. You listened to the finest music in all different types of sound. You ate the finest foods your mind could conjure. But you wanted more. You wanted to best a rival. So you did. You went on the most heroic adventures and bested every kind of foe you could think of fighting. But you wanted more. You wanted to see just how far out you could get. How much you could forget about the power you have. How much you could take. How scary could the adventure be. So you choose something new. You pressed a button you hadn’t noticed before labeled surprise and bam you were here.

I know you won’t believe me. The main character never believes they are the main character. But this is not a problem. You don’t have to believe me. Just keep it in the back of your mind and live like its all going to turn out okay; No matter what you chose, it’s all part of the plot of this story.
