Prologue
She was tired of reality; too many disappointments had clouded her way of seeing real life. Besides, it was easier to run away into the world of reading and writing; her books couldn't hurt her, they didn't tell her what to do or where to go or how to live her life. They were simply there for her entertainment…right? I mean, what could happen?
But that day she had been wondering things that she shouldn't have, things that would change her life forever. She wondered what the minds of her favorite writers of books and screenplays imaginations were like; how could they come up with so many terrific stories? What was their inspiration behind it all? And did they ever just write those stories so that they might escape from reality as well?
Why shouldn't she wonder this you ask? What's wrong with that indeed; if it were simply me or you wondering this thought, dear reader, nothing would come of it. But she…she was special; she had a great and powerful gift. And it would change her. For better or for worse; she was going to change. All from one little thought, one little pondering; nothing would be the same.
So, dear reader, shall we travel with her? Shall we discover her gift alongside her? Or shall I tell you now what you want to know?
Very well.
And so she wondered.
