End QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW 1 Did you enjoy the Prologue 2 Do you think it makes the slightest bit of difference to me whether you did or not
ACTUAL PROLOGUE Trying to Get Started The Templeton twins Abigail and John were blah blah blah et cetera and so forth Yes I admit the above sentence isn’t very good Well too bad You will have to bear with me Reader I have never done this sort of thing before written books told stories stories to complete strangers who frankly I may not particularly particularly like Yes I am referring to you Would I like you if I met you I’m not so sure I would Of course you can say Well maybe I wouldn’t like you if I met you Narrator While that isn’t likely it is indeed a possibility And yet when I contemplate such an occasion I cannot help but ask myself Do I want the Reader to like me Do I care
I think we can all agree that I don’t care Believe me I am not writing these words because I want to I am writing writing them because I am compelled to That is why I wrote The End in the Prologue I had hoped you would read that and be fooled into thinking you had read an entire book which I would then not actually have to write I had hoped you would look up and say to your parent parent or guardian or sibling or bodyguard My that was a short book I’m not sure anything actually happened in it but it says The End so something must have However I can see by the fact that you are reading this now that I was wrong I was unable to fool you You must be smarter than I thought Very well If you are so terribly terribly smart why don’t you write this book Just fill it in right here I see you have failed to fill it in It’s not as easy as it looks is it Fine Let’s move on actual prologue trying to get started 11
