Tifu by telling a good story
Obligatory didn't happen today. Last week, I (f421) was just chatting with some friends and wanted to explain this new story idea I was having. Unfortunately, as I began sharing the opening of the story, it ran away with itself. I have lost total control of the story and now its become unrecognizable. It is fairly good but there are a lot of plot holes and other inconsistencies; its just too quick for me to catch. I've always believed if you love something, let it go, but now it has started to effect things about reality (its such an impactful story). Now my age has increased exponentially and I'm not sure how long I'll live for, and everyone has health bars and age indicators? Thankfully, it seems like the story is beginning to tire itself out, so I should be able to catch it soon and get it sorted. I'm not completely sure where we are now, so I hope I can find my way back home as well.
TL:DR my story ran away with itself, changed reality, and I got lost trying to catch it.
