Untethered Marionette

There was a girl who lied. But that wasn't the important thing. The crucial aspect was that her lies had a strange power—they would somehow become true. She learned this the hard way when one of her falsehoods accidentally led to the death of her friend. The rest of her life became a tale of redemption, as she sought to make amends, find love, and reconnect with estranged friends. Ezra found himself stuck in this exact story, but not as its protagonist. Instead, he was relegated to the role of a side character, unable to control his actions or words within this world. It felt as though some unseen force controlled him like a puppet, even using his own name for the character he portrayed. To his surprise, he discovered he wasn't alone in this predicament. Others from different places and times, including his ex-boyfriend, found themselves similarly ensnared. At first, Ezra merely sought survival and escape from this bewildering situation. But as time passed, he realized there was more to it. As he attempted to navigate past relationships, unravel hidden secrets, and decipher unfamiliar faces, Ezra unearthed a tangled web of connections that exceeded anything he could have imagined. ******************* Ezra: There is nothing between us anymore. His Ex: Yes. There isn't any. Ezra: You should know I hate your guts. His Ex: Likewise. Ezra: Then why do you worry over me so much? His Ex looked into Ezra's eyes, a flicker of vulnerability in his gaze. With a gentle stroke of Ezra's cheek, the touch was as delicate as handling something immensely precious. "You lie. I do not worry about you. Not even for a second." Ezra: 'Yeah right. I can totally see that.' ******************* Disclaimer: Cover illustration belongs to it's rightful owner. P.S Though there is a tragedy tag, it will still be a happy ending. ~Also, I would like everyone to be a little bit patient with my story. It will take three to four chapters for things to really start making sense. Thank you for reading *Muah*
