A person can create

So a person can create things. We create babies, we create friendships, we create art and music and movies. The list is nearly endless.  Just look around everything that you see was created by someone. 

But what happens if they create something that isn’t the right way to do it? What happens if what they created is not done the same way that everyone else does it? Something had been created but is it wrong if that does not follow the same system as everyone else? 

I wrote a movie script. I spent a long time writing it. I know it is true that I may be the only one that thinks it’s any good but I want to give it a chance. 

I never did anything conventionally growing up. I was different and I embraced my differences. I felt being the same was boring. Honestly, sometimes this made me a bit shy, there were times where I did not want to embrace my differences. That’s not true now.

I understand that people say they have been rejected many times, before someone agreed to help them bring their creation to fruition. I am currently in that stage where many people say it should be changed. That it does not fit the normal system of every movie. I thought about their words. I thought I would have to change it a lot. Then today I decided I like the way I wrote it. That I shouldn’t change it to make other people happy just as I should not change myself to make other people happy. This is a part of me and I want someone to see what I have done to the movie. I do not want them to look at it and automatically tell me that it doesn’t fit the conventional movie method so it needs to be edited. 

If people didn’t create or try new things nothing would ever be created. It would just be the same old thing. So I am off to find someone who is willing to give this a chance. 

Now let’s see what the future holds.

Me

So.. this is Edsel. I was told I am supposed to write something about myself. I really did not want to write anything and now after hearing all this talk about us just being characters and not real I really don’t want to do it so here it is. 

I like hawks. 

That’s it, that’s all I am going to write. 

He looks up seeing Lillianna glaring at him. 

“Fine, I will write more would that please you, your highness?” 

“Don’t be sarcastic just write” she states. 

I am unique like everyone else. I am similar to other men my age yet I am different. I guess you could say that I came from a wealthy family and had a cushy yet suffocating childhood. I always longed for more of an adventure and excitement and after meeting Lillianna I now have it. I had no freedom before, but I am very grateful to have that now. Being rich means nothing if you feel like you are locked in a prison. And like I stated before I like hawks, I seem to have a special bond with them and for that reason they are my favorite birds. 

He looks up at Lillianna. 

“Is that enough?”

She reads over his shoulder. 

“Yes, they will learn more about you when the time is right.” 

“And when will that be?”

“Time will tell.”

Love

Lord Klaus sits down at his desk. The room is lit by a candle upon his desk. He open up his blank book and picking up his feather pen he begins the write the following as he tries to come to a decision. 

Have you ever met someone who seems so different than anyone else you have ever met? A person who just makes you feel happy when you are close to them?  Someone who can make you feel better just by being near them? What happens if that person does not love you in return? I am grappling with these thoughts right now. Do I continue to try and do everything that I can to win their heart over or do I respect their wish and not pursue any romantic relationship but rather have their friendship? Am I strong enough to do that? To see her with another man? I am afraid I am too weak for that. How can love do this to a person? To be so cruel and yet to also feel so great?  I love her. There is no denying I love her. I just don’t know if I love her enough to stop pursuing her. I can’t give up! I won’t give up! She was my first love, my only love and I need her beside me. If I confess my feelings to her will she reciprocate?  Can I handle it if she doesn’t? I want her, I need to be with her. I need her in my life whether she is my wife or only my friend I need her and I will do all that I have to, to keep her in my life.

What is Real?

I have to apologize for my King’s rant yesterday. As his advisor I could tell that something was wrong but I did not how serious it really was. Questioning ones own existence is serious I am happy that he found his answer but he seemed very headstrong about it. I do not think there is one solid answer to it. Yes, it may be true that we are created from someone’s imagination. Yes, you may not be able to touch us. But who is to say that you are more real than us? You may also be pawns and that someone is controlling everything that you do, that your future is already predetermined such as ours is. 

I am sorry maybe I am being straightforward too just like my King. I think that everything is the unknown. We do not know all the answers, but do we have to? I think it makes life more exciting not to know the answers. Embrace the unknown and continue to live your lives. No one knows what will happen in the future because we depend on other people to shape our future, there is only so much action we can take. So what is real? Are we real? Are our worlds real? These are things that we may never know the answer too but that is okay. I hope my King realizes this too.  He is a kind man though he may not always seem that way but hopefully one day you will get to see that side of him too. 

Sincerely, 

               Renee 

        Loyal Advisor to King Anton and Queen Lillianna

We are Real

I have learned about the future and that there is this thing called the Internet where people can write and many others will see it. I thought I would give this a try after someone stated that we are not real that we are just someone’s creation and for this I want to challenge it. WE ARE REAL! 

I toiled over the idea of what makes someone real. Someone who is real has a personality, they have a goal, and they are visible, something that you can touch. I have a personality, I have a goal to marry the woman I love, I am visible in your imagination, but I cannot be touched. Since I cannot be touched am I not real? Do you have to touch someone for them to be real? There are many other people that exist that you cannot touch, but they are real. I lost sleep over this last night and that is when I came to conclusion that I am real. Yes, maybe I cannot be touched, maybe I exist in your imagination but I am there, I am real, I exist. Even if I only exist in your imagination, I am there, that is where I can be found. I am not nowhere, I am somewhere, I have a name, I am not nameless, I exist, I just exist in your imagination just as I was created by someone’s imagination. I can be found in your imagination so you know where to find me. Don’t believe anyone who says I am not real because now you know my feelings, you know the truth I along with my friends, my acquaintances, my enemies we are real.

What was this?

Well.....this some hints to a movie script I created. I tried to keep it as vague as I could but i think I may want to go back and discuss some more things about it. Writing is my passion, when I am sad it makes me happy, it makes me more in-tune with my feelings, it lets me create things that do not exist. So writing is my passion and the characters I created are my babies. I molded their personalities, I gave them appearances, stature, jobs, I gave them life. I even searched for their names with a baby naming website. So.... who are my characters? 

I already introduced Lillianna she is the star of the movie. A poor girl turned royalty, a woman turned into a bride, a woman who knows what she wants and stops at nothing to get it. Yeah she is determined but there are many other things that make her who she is just like people, there are many other things that make us who we are. 

Then we have Klaus the rich attractive guy that every girl wants because what girl doesn’t want to marry someone rich? Especially in the 18th century when having money meant a better chance of survival. 

Lucas, a friend of Klaus. 

I could write a lot more about all of my characters but I feel like I would be giving too much away. My babies are not ready to be seen by the world yet...not like this, but one day....one day when these characters are ready they will show themselves to the world and the world better be ready for them. 

Or maybe I will just post something in the next few days or hours or weeks.

Interview 4

Amy sits down at her desk reviewing her notes and re-listening to the dialogue she has. She hears a conversation between her and the other man before her interview. 

Lillianna: It feels strange being on earth again and it looks so different. 

Man: Many years have gone by since you were living here. 

Amy listens to the recording of it again. Then speaks out loud. 

“Lillianna used to live on earth and this man knows about it. I need to interview him!” 

Lillianna walks through the gardens passing by her neighbor, Elly, a girl near her age who is picking vegetables from her garden. 

Elly: How did it go on earth? 

Lillianna: Did Caleb tell you about it? 

Elly: A little. 

Lillianna: The people of earth know about our existence. However, the future of earth is very different than the earth of this time. Transportation is easier which makes the spread of hatred easier. 

Elly: Do you think it is too dangerous for me to go?

Lillianna: I think it is too dangerous for anyone. 

Elly: If we go with Anton and Caleb it won’t be as dangerous right?

Lillianna: You really want to go?

Elly: Caleb has stated that the lights there were like nothing he had ever seen before. 

Lillianna: Okay, get Caleb I will get Anton and lets meet out here. 

Elly: Thank you! 

Elly hurries insider her house and Lillianna goes into hers. Inside Anton is sitting on the throne. She stares at him. 

Lillianna: Lets go to earth?

Anton: Why, so we can see Klaus again? 

Lillianna: Elly wants to see the lights of the city. 

Anton: It isn’t safe. 

Lillianna: We will only be gone a short time. 

Anton: Can we make this the last time we go there? 

Lillianna: To the future of earth? Yes, I don’t like it there either. 

Lillianna goes into her den and picks up a piece of paper and pen. She sits down and begins to write. 

Amy, 

        Thank you for your interview. I believe it accomplished exactly what I had wanted. I feel there are no more threats against my people and for that fact I am very grateful. Since you helped me I want to help you by telling you a bit more of myself. I was born on earth. I spent a lot of time there until I realized that I was different and because I was different I did not belong there. Humans fear ones that are different than them. They fear the unknown and want to destroy or try to make sense of it because they feel that it will destroy them if they do not. These are the things i learned from my time on earth. Although I was born on earth I am not human. Rather I possess a power unknown to them and for that reason I have had enemies. We are a peaceful group of people but if we feel our lives are threatened we will eliminate the threats quickly and easily. This will be the last time our people come to earth so do not seek us out anymore. i just want to give the humans something to think about. No one in the world is the same as you. You are unique. Do not hate other people for being unique. Being different is not bad and stop thinking that it is. 

Take care, 

Lillianna 

Lillianna, Elly, Anton, and Caleb stand atop one of New York City’s skyscraper at dusk. They overlook the city with all of the lights. 

Elly: It is beautiful and scary at the same time. 

They stand in silence admiring it. Before they leave Lillianna makes her way to the same stage where she had her interview and leaves the paper on the floor. 

Lillianna; Lets go.  

And they disappear back to their world.

Interview 3

Lillianna is sitting down at the table. She looks in front of her at the boy near her age with brown hair as he stares back at her. 

Boy: So that’s what happened? 

Lillianna: Yes.

Boy: So you went to earth to reveal yourself? 

Lillianna: I went to earth to see if we have any enemies. 

Boy: And you traveled to the future to do that? 

Lillianna: Caleb, you don’t understand. 

She folds her arms and sighs. 

Caleb: Then tell me so I do understand. 

Lillianna: I won’t be alive forever. I just want to try to ensure the safety of our people for years. I want to know that even when I am gone they are safe. 

Caleb: Lillianna, I understand you want to protect everyone but you shouldn’t have to burden yourself with this. Our people are strong and resilient. They will be okay. 

Lillianna: The people of earth are still not capable of accepting people that are different than them. 

Caleb: Has it gotten worse? 

Lillianna: In some ways yes. I feel overall the humans are accepting but the ones that do not are very violent. 

Caleb: We will tell our people that it is too dangerous to go there. We will make sure these words get passed down to younger generations. So did you accomplish what you wanted on earth? 

Lillianna: Can you go with me to find out? 

Caleb: Sure, but should we tell Anton first. 

Lillianna: I will leave a note. We should only be gone a short time. 

Lillianna and Caleb arrive in the city. Caleb’s eyes widen in surprise. 

Caleb: I never saw so many lights before. 

She looks up at the TV screens. Her name flashes across one of them.  Amy, the journalist, rushes over. 

Journalist: Lillianna....Lillianna you are back! I have some questions. 

Lillianna places her hand on Caleb’s arm. 

Lillianna: Caleb I am trusting you with this. 

Lillianna opens her portal and steps back into the light again leaving Caleb by himself. Amy holds her recorder to Caleb’s face. 

Journalist: Do you know Lillianna? 

Caleb: My name is Caleb and your name?

Journalist: I have had many people ask me about Lillianna. You need to answer my questions.

Caleb: Can we go somewhere else? 

She takes him inside a diner. 

Caleb: I do know Lillianna. 

Journalist: What is your relationship to her? 

Caleb: She is someone special to me. 

Journalist: Are you someone special to her? 

Caleb: All of her people are someone special to her.

Journalist: So you are like her? And just what is that? 

Caleb: We are different and that is all you need to know. What kind of questions have you gotten about Lillianna? 

Journalist: What is she? Why did she come here? Where did she come from? 

Caleb: I can only answer one of them. She came here to make sure that her ascendants are protected in the future. 

Journalist: Do you think they are? 

There is some fighting in the back of the diner. A man punches another despite there being children in the diner. 

Caleb: I have not been here long enough to tell but Lillianna has spent a week here. She seems to think that our main enemy is gone but that human violence has escalated to the point it isn’t safe here for anyone and I feel the same way. 

He quickly opens up his portal and disappears. 

He sees Lillianna in the field and walks up to her. 

Lillianna: Do you think I accomplished what I wanted? 

Caleb: I do and now I think it is time to notify the people. We need to protect them the best way we can. 

Lillianna nods her head. 

At the diner Amy leans back in her seat then sighs. She takes out her notebook and writes, Who is Lillianna? What is she? Why does she want to protect her people so much? These and the many other questions we have will probably never be answered but I will keep trying.

Interview 2

The journalist, Amy, is standing outside with a microphone in her hands. A cameraman is in front of her. She looks at the row of trees in front of her then walks up to the gate. The gate is the only thing that gives a hint to a house being inside. She peers through the gate then quickly turns to her right seeing a horse and carriage speeding towards her. She stands her ground and the carriage comes to a halt in front of her. 

Journalist: Lord Klaus, Lord Klaus! 

She rushes to the carriage looking for him. The driver quickly jumps down standing next to her. He removes his top hat staring at the woman before him. He bows. 

Driver: My name is Rick. I am sorry Lord Klaus, whom you are seeking, is not inside that carriage. 

Journalist: Where is Lord Klaus? I need to speak him. 

Rick: I am sorry he is out of town on business. What do you need to speak with him about? 

Journalist: Do you know Lillianna? 

Rick: Lillianna? Of course I know Lillianna. Everyone in Lord Klaus’s house knows Lillianna. 

Journalist: I interviewed Lillianna at her request. Now I have been inundated with questions and everyone wants to know more about this mysterious woman. 

Rick: She is no mystery to me. 

Journalist: Then tell me what is she? Is she an alien? A witch? A spirit? Maybe a robot a....

Rick: Lillianna is Lillianna that is all you need to know. 

Journalist: Is it true that Lord Klaus and her were an item? 

Rick: That is something I cannot answer. 

Journalist: But you are not denying it.

Rick: It’s complicated. 

Journalist:  Why did Lillianna come to me? 

Rick: To tell everyone that she is still alive. People who thought she was dead. To her enemies and her allies. 

Journalist: Why does she have enemies? 

Rick: Many people have enemies. 

Journalist: Her statements have confused many people. 

Rick: Only the people she wants to know will know everything. 

Journalist: What else can you tell me about her? 

Rick: She has helped many people including Lord Klaus. This is all I will say. 

A female voice calls from the house “Rick come here!”

Rick: It was nice speaking to you but don’t tread to highly into this. You will not like the information you will find and it could do more harm than good for the public. 

He quickly hops into the carriage and disappears through the gate. She faces the camera. 

Journalist: To everyone that will watch this I feel that the mystery has only grown. This woman, Lillianna, is still a mystery to all and even the people that are close to her will not speak of her. I am not sure how, but I will do all I can to find out the answers. Until then....

Interview 1

In a dark room with one single camera and two chairs. A woman dressed in a business suit holding a clip board sits down. She adjusts her white sleeve and looks around her then at the camera. Off camera is a man and a woman. He stuffs his hands into his black pants and looks at the woman sitting in the chair then he looks at the woman in front of him. 

“You really shouldn’t be doing this,” he states. 

“Our threats have been destroyed but if not we can lure them out. I refuse to live my life in fear.” She walks out in her long dress. The journalist looks at her in surprise.  She quickly stands up and extends her hand to the woman in front of her. 

Journalist: My name is Amy. 

Lillianna: *curtsies.* My name is Lillianna. 

Journalist: Please sit down. 

Both woman take their seats the journalists looks down at her clipboard then stares at the woman in front of her. 

Lillianna: Is the camera rolling? 

Journalist: It is. So lets start this interview. Lillianna what brings you here? 

Lillianna: We have been threatened by your kind and we want to make sure that the threat is eliminated. 

Journalist: But I have heard you are not from this world or from this time so why have you come here? 

Lillianna: I worry for the future. I want us to coexist in peace so our children and their children can live in a world where they are not fearing for their lives. 

Journalist: I see. And how long have you been here? 

Lillianna: One week. 

Journalist: And do you think that your threat is eliminated? That your ascendants can live safely? 

Lillianna: I feel the threat is gone. However, this world is far from peaceful. It is unlike my world. 

Journalist: Would you want your ascendants to live here? 

Lillianna: No...never! I will forbid it. I will warn my people about this world. 

Journalist: And what if someone would defy your orders? Would you try to stop them? 

Lillianna: All of my people value their lives they would never risk it unnecessarily. 

Journalist: So what is it that you want the world to know? 

Lillianna: I have come to notice that humans do not take well to people that are different than them. They turn on other humans who believe things that are different than them, humans that look different than them. I am different. I may look human but I am much more than that. 

Journalist: If humans are how you say then how would you be able to tell the difference between the people that are a threat to you and the humans that dislike you because you are different? 

Lillianna: Humans are not our threat. *faces the camera* If you are a threat to me then you know who I am. We are stronger than before and we do not fear you. If you have a death wish come find us you know how. 

She then walks off stage to the man beside her. She waves her right hand and a large flash of light opens in front of her they walk through and it disappears behind them. 

Journalist: *faces the camera* This was the first interview I ever conducted with someone who was not human. Although this interview left us with more questions then answers we know at least one thing. There are people different than us. They look like us but they are capable of things that we are not. I wonder how this will play out?
