What surprised me the most is how unexcited I was to publish the chapters.

That was uncalled for. Let me fix it; what shocked me the most was how I didn't think much of publishing the chapters, as this is not a book I meant to wrote for the mass audience, but rather a compilation of thoughts-turned-stories. When I ride the train, unable to sleep, or just having a hard time thinking because of how much thoughts are running around inside my head - I write, and I write to please myself alone. I simply publish the chapters so that I won't forget nor accidentally make any unnecessary changes on the story. I call it untangling-my-brain-knots, and however confusing or offensive you might find them to be, these short stories all came from inside my head. Not all of them necessarily happened in real life but a handful of them did. Just as I said, these stories are originally born from my mind, and I'm definitely not the most sane person you know.

The Pre: Encore chapter contains the list of the stories and what do they mean behind all those words and paragraphs. I dwell in contemporary literature as well as classics; I read and I write various genres to express myself. So if you find my writing a bit boring and brain-mulling, I apologize.

While most of these stories are depressive - I know they are - I also want to show the happy end of the line in them and let you, the readers, to imagine the kind of happy ending the characters deserve. It's not my place to write them a happy ending. I sense their sorrow but I also feel their warmth. I emphasize their downs, but in my head I picture their ups. It's a bit complicated thing to explain because I just suck so bad at explaining things so I'll leave it at that.

Last, I want to thank you if you keep on reading even though the first chapter is amusing and ambiguous enough. I want to bow down and and shake your hand and hug you if you feel like "I can relate to this" because some things I have written here isn't much of a good thing to relate to. I will be okay. You will be okay. And meanwhile, I'll keep on adding more chapters and altering the Pre: Encore part as my thoughts won't just stop here.

Good day.
