SHOWMASTER HEART GAME (FRIDAY)

[showmaster]

A familiar voice can be heard above you, you're not sure if they're talking to you or not but it does feel like you're part of this conversation:

"What a Wonderful Story that you have. I've read it many times when I was feeling sad. You know, I wanted to keep it in my personal collection, but it doesn't seem that's going to be possible. To grant my wish, I'd have to sacrifice what it means to be a reader ... to become the story. That's The End that I'm looking for.

Re: LOVE (Brother)

I can't claim to be well-versed in how someone would go about that in reality. But if it's just a story...all you need is for the reader to believe it's true. Or, for those who are living through it, for it to feel true for them to some extent.

Legends are tied to "true names", so...perhaps severing them from their true names and giving them a new name. A sibling can grant a name, since they're family.

A new name...

That should be narratively satisfying, right? I'm not exactly a writer myself, so I don't know if I have much more I can help with than that. But, as a reader, I'd enjoy that kind of happy ending. Even if the world is a little changed, so long as it's one where everyone can live happily one way or another...that's what matters.
