A LONG TIME AGO, BACK when the earth was a wonderful place to live, there lived a little girl, full of imagination.

She was an only child, an orphan living with her grandmother after her parents had an accident, but she was never alone. For she had hundreds of friends.
The giraffe from outer space, the monkey who lived underwater, the fish that could breathe out of the water, and many others with more complicated disorders.

The other children would laugh at the girl and her friends, teasing her by saying that her friends weren't real.

But the girl didn't care. She loved going on adventures with her imaginary friends. She would rescue penguins from islands and return them back to their home, she would argue with the snake that always wanted to eat her, and she would have the greatest fun.

She thought life couldn't get any more interesting.

Until she discovered books.

Her grandmother taught her how to read, and after that, the girl discovered a whole new world.

A world full of books.

It blew her mind. She discovered many different, fictional worlds, and different characters, and as she grew older, her love for books grew even more.

She read, and she read, and she read, until she decided to become a writer, because that would be having the greatest job in the world, according to her. The thought of doing nothing all day but dreaming was too good to be true.

And so, as she grew older, she held out hope for a colorful future, where she could spend as much time as she liked, dreaming and making the wonderful things in her imagination come true.

But then, her grandmother died, and that was when she felt alone, for the first time in her life.

Without her grandmother's magic, the girl was suddenly thrown into reality, and as she looked around, she realized that the world wasn't what it seemed like in books.

It had changed over the years, it had changed while she was growing up.

People no longer cared about adventures, they only cared about themselves, their work and their money.

The children were all glued to screens, staring at flashing lights for hours on end, stuck in time forever. 

The rich became richer, and the poor became poorer, and horrible, old men took over the world.
