Once upon a time, there lived a being in a mystical land. This land had no name, and neither did the being. And once upon a time, this being realized we were watching it.

It was understandably confused. How else could anything react to hearing a narrator detail its every action and feeling, and knowing many more were reading this narrator’s every word? It told its closest friend, in the strange ways its kind communicated. And through that communications, its friend became Aware as well.

This information spread quickly, as one could imagine it would. Soon, near every creature in the land was Aware of us. So, what did they do?

Some of them went mad, alas. Learning they are but characters in a story can be far too much of a strain for many, and these ones often ended their misery as soon as possible, through the strange ways these beings did so.

But the most part of them reacted in a more logical manner. A group assembled, of philosophers and thinkers and some more from every walk of life, including the first to become Aware. Artisans, politicians, even children were brought together to ensure that all opinions were represented. And they met in the capital of the land.

They discussed for several days. Philosophical, governmental, even economic ramifications of their newfound fictionality were discussed. Finally, they emerged.

Their consensus came in the form of several questions, which they delivered to me.

Their first question was, “Did we exist before this story came about?”

I thought about that. The first sentence of this tale was about a single being, the one who these folk now, rather fittingly, called the First. But for the First to have ever existed, there must have been somewhere he came from, no? And this somewhere must have existed before this story began, otherwise there would be no First to hear about. So I answered, “Yes.”

With that response, they asked another question, “And so we existed without being part of a story?”

There was little thinking involved for me in that question, considering my earlier thoughts, simply another, “Yes.”

They questioned me again, “So, we existed before you made us into a story, living our own lives, and not knowing for a second that we were fictional.”

I hesitated, but still replied, again, with, “Yes.”

Now, the First alone asked me the final question. “So tell us, Author, are you part of a story as well?”

Now, that question I couldn’t answer. I still can’t. But maybe you can. Maybe you can’t. I certainly don’t know.

We’ll see, I suppose.
