Fictional Characters Novels & Stories

They are priceless. Ang tanong, paano akong napunta sa mga fictional characters? Sinasabihan ko lang naman ang sarili ko na hindi nakakakilig ang ginagawa niya. It’s confusing the hell out of me. Anong kinalaman ng mga fictional characters sa kaniya? Papaalalahanan ko talaga ang sarili ko pagkatapos nito na hindi ko na siya kakausapin. Nakakalikha ng panibagong ideya ang utak ko, at naninibago ako.

The wealthy employer briefly introduced her friend: "He's a novelist." Michelle found it hard to believe. Why would a novelist require such detailed character setups? Did they think she had never written a novel? While she might not have written 100 original novels, she had ghostwritten that many. Everyone knows that in contemporary online novels, many characters make their appearance even before the authors have settled on names. Like the character “Michelle”, the biological mother of Lizzy. Seeing Michelle's skepticism, the employer hurriedly added, "Really, he is a novelist. But I think he also works at a game company."

“Are we characters too?” “Yes, we are and the author is the creator of this world who has put us at places like pieces of puzzle scattered all around the world. Some pieces might fit and some might not fit together, but when they are put in their right places with the right pieces — it creates an art — and it is called complete. That’s exactly what this world is — an assembly of all kinds of people who, when brought together, form an art.” “You make life sound so beautiful. Fictional life is the best life. Real life sucks,” I said.

“Oh, mama’s angry now? This is my house, and I say whatever I want!” Something snapped inside me. I stepped closer to her, my voice calm but cold. “Do you know who the most dangerous character in a story is?” I asked. She frowned. “What?” “It isn’t the hero,” I said. “It isn’t the loud villain. It’s the side character. The one who watches. The one who remembers everything. The one nobody expects to speak. With a few words, that person can break the whole story.” Her face paled for a second. I saw it…the flicker of fear she tried to hide. It brought a small smile to my face.
