PrefaceA Chapter by Xaverie Baker"On the subject of you, how are you? Oh, I know. Very dreadfully ill for reading this. Stop reading. Please."Preface Everything
happens for a reason…or so a little birdy once told me. So, riddle me this,
dear reader. For what reason do we die? Or better yet, for what purpose do we
live? Really, I’m dying to know. Get it? Dying? Oh, well. I thought it was
funny. I
feel like now is a bad time to speak of death. So, let’s change the subject. To
what, you ask? Life. That’s a confusing one, I know…but, think about it long
enough and you will get it. I swear. It’s easy! Life is but an endless…well,
almost endless…string of events happening in no particular order. Just
happening. A
thing about life that some cannot properly come to terms with is the fact that
each person lives it out differently. In a way that best suites them. Some pick
a very planned out, well-paved path and others pick the rocky road called
spontaneity. Please do not take this like I am trying to tell you how to live
your life but, if I might be of some help and offer you a suggestion? No matter
which path you take, do not overplan your life or you will end in
disappointment but, also, don’t be too spontaneous, you will get hurt. I
know all of this from experience but, we are not here to talk about me. What
are we even here to talk about, you ask? Well, you will just have to find out,
my dear. On the subject of you, how are you? Oh, I know. Very dreadfully ill
for reading this. Stop reading. Please. I beg of you, stop! If you continue
reading, you will regret every last moment of your life. I know I did. Okay,
well, it is your choice but, I assure you, it is most definitely the wrong choice. She never intended for
this to happen. She never intended for her story to be told ever again, Lots of
unintentional things happen. That’s life. I’m
sure you have experience in this little area that I like to call the plot twist. Really, all that life is….is
well…a giant plot twist and you, lovely you are the punch line. Joke is on you…is
it?
