"Window to the Past."
"Chapter 1: Epilogue."
"First of all, yes, I realize that the chapter titles are in quotes, not bolded or italicized, and aren't centered. But that's the only way I can get them up there. I'm sorry. I'm a little more limited than I was when I started writing. Things have gotten...uh...complicated.
"My name is Multikirby. Well, it...isn't, actually. I had a human name, but I haven't used it in a long time. So...I kind of forget it. But I used to be the author of No Pokeballs Allowed, Canon Fodder, and most recently, Window to the Past. And...yes. I said 'used to be'. As I said before, things have gotten complicated. If you've read the other two stories, you should probably already know what went wrong, and you'll probably be able to figure out how this story ends. For those of you that haven't read them...I'll just say that this story doesn't have a happy ending. Prince Phillip doesn't kiss Sleeping Beauty. Katniss doesn't win the Hunger Games. Harry Potter doesn't kill Voldemort. Hazel Grace doesn't get closure.
"Of course, those are all allusions. None of those people are in this story. This story, like the other two, is about a kid that gets brought into another world. But...this story's chapters were a bit longer, so I wasn't able to get them all out daily, like I did with the other two. Or, in your case, the story's chapters will be longer, and I won't get them out daily.
"In case some of you are confused, I'm writing this after the story's finished. For me, this is the last chapter of Window to the Past. For you, it's the first. So when you read this, you'll be looking back at a time when things were better. When I didn't have the guilt of murder hanging over my head, when I didn't have to worry about my best friend betraying me, when I didn't have to watch helplessly as my hard work was forcefully ripped away from me. I'm stuck here. You aren't. If you want, you can read these chapters over and over, and pretend that it didn't end like it did. I can't do that.
"...A lot of you probably think that I'm just a person sitting behind a computer, like you are. And...I wish I was. As I said, things have gotten complicated. And I don't have the time to tell you. This story, to me, was more than just something to post on FanFiction. These stories were my ticket back home. And now they're not. So...now they're just stories. But why am I telling you this? To you, they're still what they were to you; a story. So you can treat it the exact ...I just wanted to tell you...
"I wrote this chapter over the Prologue I'd written earlier, back when...you know. Don't worry, you aren't missing anything. I made this chapter to warn you that the story doesn't end well. Some of you might think it's a spoiler, but it's the journey that counts, right?...Look. I know this seems kind of pointless to you. But...I just wanted to tell you...
"This isn't how I wanted things to go. So...enjoy Window to the Past."
