RE: The first post of "The story in series". The Prologue.

Thank you again for your important contribution! I believe that it's amazing what's happening here! Let me explain...

When I was writing this short introduction I had a pretty clear idea about the context in which the character writes this "final" entry in their diary. But I tried to leave it as open as I could so that I didn't constrain the reader in my way of thinking, in a predetermined path that they had to follow. That is, after all, the whole concept of this endeavor. And it seems I succeeded, because here you are reading it in a way I hadn't intended and reading into it things I never included, at least intentionally. But obviously they're there! This is the collective consciousness at work here! And I think it's really amazing! For example, the most simplistic of all, you are reading this and you see the words being written by a man (although probably the kiss to "her" contributes to that), but it's actually left intentionally unspecified.

Now, as far as the book goes, I would be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind. But I try not to be presumptuous. I mean something like that happening is some steps ahead from the point we are now. Some big, lunar steps ahead. First, people need to become interested and then engaged in this project so that many, different ideas are offered. So if you like it, I would appreciate it very much if you resteemed it. Secondly, I have to write those ideas in a nice, captivating story! And well, if, at some point, a book actually comes out of it, it goes without saying that everybody that contributed will be mentioned and, why not, receive some monetary reward as well. But until then I'm hoping that the satisfaction of contribution and, of course, the curation rewards, will draw people to this "experiment". Don't forget that the suggestions in the comments need to be upvoted in order to have a winning comment, that will become the basis of the following chapter.

Thank you again for the time you devoted to this project, reading it and commenting, and I hope that it will keep you engaged until the final chapter!
