《Smile》Stasis
Advertisement
If I told you I was going to tell you a story, and you had no choice but to listen to it, how would you want that story to begin? Would you want to hear about a hero slaying a dragon? A scene introducing a character with superpowers? Or maybe a hot, steamy sex scene between a dorky, average-looking girl and her kinky, billionaire boy toy Nigel, who has six pack abs and is head over heels in love with her, even though he could clearly do better?
Well too bad, because the story I’m about to tell doesn’t have any of what I just said.
…
Here’s a question though, why do so many people like imagining these things? Why do so many people willingly suspend their disbelief to put themselves into these borderline delusional worlds on such a regular basis? For me, I think the reason we do this is the same reason why we read books, watch movies, play games - and the reason is because reality is boring. Because in the real world, there are only so many princesses that need to be saved, and not enough castles for them to be captured in. Everyone likes imagining fucking Nigel, but precisely only because everyone knows that deep down, in reality, Nigel is too good to exist. And I’m guessing you’re here now for the same reason too, aren’t you? To escape from this boredom that so many people call reality?
…
Oh yeah, I forgot. You can’t actually respond to my questions. Sorry about that.
Before I begin though, let me be pretentious for a moment and paraphrase what American novelist Tom Clancy once said in saying that - the difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. Now you might find this quote cliched or overused or whatever, but I think it really captures the idea of why I think so many people enjoy living in these fictional worlds. And perhaps in time, you’ll also come to realize how beautifully the quote ties into this one as well. Especially one so specifically designed for you.

But that’s enough rambling from me. Without further ado, let me begin the reason for why you’re here - the story.
So, are you ready?

The Thing About Apholie: A Wolfwalkers Fanfiction
14 year-old Abigail Rosmere is afraid. Afraid of the wild. Which would make being friends with Apholie Lilliput, a wild girl from the nearby woods, sound very ironic. She's the only wild thing Abigail isn't afraid of. But when Apholie accidentally turns her into her species, far unlike any human, Abigail's world is turned upside down. And when Apholie is in danger, will Abigail run and save herself or stay and fight to protect the only thing she has left to call her own? (This is my first story on Wattpad and it is inspired by Wolfwalkers. I do not own the movie, it's characters, plot or any part of it at all. Credit goes to the original creators, Cartoon Saloon. I do own this sh*tty fanfic however, lol)*WATCH WOLFWALKERS FIRST BEFORE READING THIS FANFIC, IT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE, JUST TRUST ME!!!!*Additional stuff, (lol):Updates will most likely be very slow, mainly either due to school or lack of motivation. Also, I do not take requests. I do, however, take constructive criticism. My writing will most likely get better with the more books I compose, cus honestly I'm not too proud of this, but I'm too lazy to change it so I'm sticking with it. This was made with no planning whatsoever, so be prepared for some parts that may not make any sense. Lack of self confidence aside, I do hope you enjoy!(Thx for the 107 views, by the way!)
