Once upon a time...
there was a girl called Contessa Lolinola who lived in a small village with a river and some shops. She had hopes and dreams for her life, and knew that when she died, she wanted to be remembered as someone remarkable.
Thus her life began. She did fantastically well in school, surpassing expectations and all other students, achieving great accreditation from teachers and peers alike. Her education continued thus, and then she finds herself a true love. They speak of marriage and soulmates and vow to be together forever. She happily embarks on a somewhat unremarkable job that has potential for remarkableness, and enjoys a life with love and prospects. The job lasts some years and remains unremarkable. She desires stimulation, and freedom and says she is going away. She leaves the job. And loses her love. The job is switched for another, and another. The love is replaced by another, and another. Nothing remotely remarkable happens. Contessa becomes dissilusioned with her life that is failing to be remarkable. She spends her days in pensive concentration, discussing life and thought and love and moments of truth. She finds many answers, but none that make her happy. She thinks about planning her life, about leaving it to chance, and wonders if it will ever be remarkable. Still seeking answers, she asks others if they too had life stories planned out, and whether they happened or not, and whether she can find her happiness in a life that is not so remarkable.
