"And they all lived happily ever after."
"But this book is labeled fiction, Narumi-sensei."
Of reality and fiction, and the line between.

Title: Plums and Lemons » Snippet #11 : Fiction.
Characters: Narumi, OCs Midori and Mizu
Genre: Drama/General
Rating: K+.
Status: Complete.
This snippet was difficult to write, because I'm not as optimistic as Narumi is. I don't like fairytales, and I'm not too fond of what they call happy ever after. I just think they're usually overrated.
The original inspiration for this was Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest. I was rereading it so I could sleep just a few nights ago, and I think it was Miss Prism who said that "The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means." It was somewhat cynical, but it's still true.
Here's a couple of my favorite lines from my own snippet (how terribly narcissistic! LOL).
"No work of fiction, no matter how acclaimed, can capture Life's finest details; and no words, no matter how beautifully phrased, can stir the emotions felt by living Reality itself."
"Unlike in fiction, we don't need magic to get our own happy ever after."
"But what if there's no happy ever after, even after we've gone through so much?"
"Then it's not the end just yet."
I love this snippet. ;)
