Does normality exist? Cant they exist in storybooks?
Science fiction allows the imagination to run free. Allows me to embrace the world that I can never have. Allows me to feel the wind of a faraway land in my hair and smile to mystical creatures that reality could never comprehend. But even then, can't certain things just be normal.
Abnormality is so common in reality but do story books have to embrace it as well? Does the only escape i have from reality can no longer be what I can regard as an escape? Its all too familiar. Stupidity of the female character, blinded by infatuation and dreams of what can never be - drive the plot to unfolding the adventures of various characters. Dragons, mystical beings, adventures of the sea, high society.
Story books used to be about what is rare in this world. What used to be rare is now common. So can't story books just write the stuff that used to be common. stuff that allows your heart to flutter with imagination and smiles to be carved just as your imagination run with each word and phrase you read off the book and embrace the colours it brings to the deepest corners of your mind?
