The following piece of fiction is an attempt at dissolving the boundaries between the Writer and the readers by conveying the state of mind of the Writer as he writes the book. The Story doesn't lie so much in the narration of it, as it does in the sequential changes in the frame of mind through which the Writer himself experiences the Story as he writes it. This is reflected through the sequential changes in the perception of characters towards each other, towards the Writer and at times even towards the reader. The Writer in this case Being I, PranShoe.

Although inspiration for many if not all writers is derived from real people and incidents, a Writer makes a conscious effort to not reveal real identities by altering the names of characters and locations in the Story. However, I have consciously refrained from this practice in order to extend the Universe created in the fictional world of this book to the real world as well. Having said that, the incidents have been altered to a certain extent so as to not reveal any details of the private life of those people, with the sole intention of generating curiosity among readers to know more about the real-life characters. I do not take any responsibility of how much of the details are revealed by the real-life characters themselves if a reader attempts to pursue any one of them. This paragraph shall be treated as a disclaimer for any legal consequences that may arise as well. I repeat that the intention for retaining names of real-life characters is only to connect the fictional and real world, which is also the purpose of writing this book as a small part of a more complex trans-media Story.

I would recommend the readers to stay detached from the Story since the very beginning and observe it as a Writer writing it in order to best Experience the Emotion that is Being conveyed by the book as a whole. If confusion arises at any certain part, which has been observed while receiving reviews from the test audience, especially up till Chapter 5, kindly remember that it merely depicts the confused state of mind of the Writer as he attempts to hold a Story together while focussing on best expressing his own self.

To conclude this section, without giving out too many details about the Story, I would like to thank all the people who have been a part of my life since birth, especially those who feature in this episode. All the depths that I have been able to reach in studying my own self are all thanks to the people in whom I saw a reflection of myself. The friends who betrayed me, made me Experience the betrayal I was capable of; the lovers who left me, forced me to witness the emotions that I created in myself; and the family members who unconditionally supported me while creating a realistic pressure of owning up my responsibilities, helped me feel what my audience feels without having to do what they do.

Now, without further ado, let's get to why we are all here.
