Our Stories in the Mirror

By Cedric Nowatzyk

Storytelling has been a core part of society since the beginning, but there's a pattern to every narrative. Rules and cliches that allow us to expect endings before we get there. But what if those same rules governed our lives, with everyone one of us as the protagonist of our own story? Well, it wouldn't work. Every teacher across the country would die to the literary mentor occupational hazard, joining the ranks of Dumbledore and Gandalf. Long term plans would fail so in the moment reflexive decisions that make for thrilling action can take center stage. Thankfully, that's not how life works. But if someone really believed it... what would their life look like? Aspiring author Fritz Cauldra believes it. Fritz wants his life to read like a story, so the struggles in his life have meaning to someone else. He's about to embark on a quest to turn his life into a story for us to read, in a world similar to ours: where nothing is willing to cooperate with his vision of what a story should look like. Will his self-inflicted adventures lead to his ruin? Or will they remind him of the human emotions he left behind? And more importantly, will he succeed in entertaining you? Read the story to find out.
