I've always believed the characters in stories aren't made up at all, 
figments of our everyday musings and daydreams,
concretizing them to words.
They have always been there, those figments,
and only a chosen few, us writers, are able to convey their life, their being.

Their stories have always been there, 
And somehow,
It was entrusted to us
To let the world know
Their story.
