Reading the World

The world is made up of millions of stories, intertwined and complex, but still just stories. Some people are the protagonists and antagonists of multiple plot lines, others of only the smaller spinoffs. But most are simply supporting characters and extras, sometimes even seemingly so, in their own plot lines. And then there are those very few who see the world for what it is. The readers. If they examine the book, they will see there is no one single author. It is all improvisation, gossip and fantasies. Lies retold by everyone in the stories.

But do the readers have the power to change it, or only to flip to the next page and read on till the end?
