To learn to write, I must practice writing.
This, is a trial?
Are you prepared to face your ruling?
No.
Too bad.
This court finds you guilty.
*shouting from audience*

Is there a purpose to all of this?
No.
Then why are we here?
Because we need to be.
How can we need to be here, if there's no purpose to being here?
Perhaps it's better to say we have no choice.
How can that be?
God.
How can you know there is one?
All stories have an author.

Are you the author of your own life?

Have we met?
Of course not.We didn't even exist before.
Uh, what?
Don't mind me, I'm just breaking the fourth wall.
How is that even relevant here?
It isn't.

Well?
Well, what?
We're not doing anything.
That's fine, life doesn't have to keep active.
Why? What is life?
42
That doesn't mean anything.
Neither does life.
So, the author makes us live, but there's no purpose or meaning to it?
Correct.
Do we have any choices?
Maybe, it's hard to tell. Some authors seem to believe the characters write the story. It can depend a lot on the authors style.

Do our dreams hold any meaning?
They seem to. Dreams carry pieces of us inside them.
