Strangeness

If you were a character in a novel, would you live differently,

Or in the same way?

Doesn't have to be a novel - what about a movie, a song, a TV drama?

These things, imaginary and fictitious;

How they sometimes seem to limit our imagination and our capacity for change

Rather than making them limitless.

"Say," Murundo said, "I would like to create fictional characters who are so unusual and idiosyncratic, that they could not possibly exist anywhere else other than in real life."

Merrilindo said, "Lived life is strangest, and is the best." She added, "Nothing compares to it, nothing."
