Don't Stop Reading

Greetings!

Hello! It's so nice to meet a new person! I've met a couple people in my life, yeah they were kind of like you. I mean I guess there were the few that were a bit odd.

There was that one girl who clicked on my story and immediately clicked out. I guess she didn't like me very much. Oh, well. Whatever.

Oh then there was that one who must have just read something really sad before me because she couldn't stop crying and no matter how far she read in my story, i didn't help. That was upsetting, I try to make people laugh but I couldn't help her.

Now I know that This is a little weird, no, this is not a super long authors note or anything like that. I'm the story. Hi.

My name is not important right now. I mean, is anything about me really that important? I guess it depends on the way you are reading. Would you like to get to know me, or are you really just here to take your mind off of things?

I really wish I could hear you speak. It gets lonely in the pages of a book you know. I know you are here, listening to me ramble which must be terrible right now as I'm awful at introductions, but I wish we could have a true conversation.

I know you can't see me and that may be annoying but we can make this whole thing work. I have a lot planned for us. I'm excited for our adventure.

Just promise me something, pay attention. I know that sounds harsh but really, when you think about it, you only experience our time together once. Sure you could go back and re-read everything we go through, but it definately won't be the same.

I'm the lucky one, I suppose. I get to go on this adventure with many other people, but I feel like this time in particular is going to be special. I don't know it's just something about you.

You seem different from the others. I don't know what it is about you. I cant quite put my finger on it. Hmm...

Well anyway, if you are ready to embark on our thrilling adventure together then just nod your head.

...

Did you do it? It's not like I can moniter your every move, I'm just gonna trust that you did it.

Ok yay! Let's go!

Um... I was expecting something cool to happen to start our little trip but I guess we'll just have to jump right into it.

So there is not much to know about me. My author wanted to make sure that I appeal to anyone who might be reading. So, am I a boy? Am I a girl? Neither? Who knows? Not me!

I know this is strange but you'll have to bear with me on this. I don't know anything about you, other than you have great taste in book selection! Hehe I'm funny.

Anywho, since we aren't exactly strangers but not best friends yet, what do you say we tell eachother a secret to force a bond to grow between us? Yeah, ok you don't have to but I will.

You promise not to tell anyone?

Ok I'm trusting you.

My secret is:
I envy you.

I know that's stupid but just let me explain.

You are amazing! You are a person! A Living, breathing, person! How does that feel? Just go ahead and take in a huge breath of air and let it out.

Put your hand over your chest and you will feel a heartbeat rhythmatically pumping blood throughout your body. That beat is your very own song. You were given your own beat when you were born.

You were placed onto this earth and given the opportunity to change it, whether it be in a good or bad way. You could stand up right now and decide to move around. You can take a walk. You can see things, beautiful things.
