I usually write the kind of stories I would like to read or see on the big/small screen. Even though sometimes some of these stories are the same kind of stories millions of people are already familiar with, sometimes there's that story that doesn't get told too often or needs to be told to a larger audience.
Often times I just want to write something entertaining and sometimes the need to tell a specific story that needs to be told just because it needs to be told taps you on the shoulder.
This is one of such stories. I write this story hoping while people might be entertained while reading or watching on the screen, something changes in the way they see the world afterwards.
I want people to realize that whatever world they live in, there are millions of people living in a million other worlds and being aware of this fact as well as knowing their stories is world changing.
I wrote this hoping that probably forgotten readers or audiences sees a little of themselves in these characters.
