Okay, here is my story for all to enjoy!!!

   I awoke to the doorbell.  I answered to a mail carrier.  He gave me a box and I had to sign some papers.  After that I put the box on the couch and went back to sleep.
   I awoke again, now the phone was ringing.  I answered it.  It was my mother who had paralyses in her left arm.  "Something is wrong," she said.  "Use the purple pen, not the paper clip," she said.  Then the line went dead, she had hung up on me.  I fell asleep again with the phone in my hands.
   I awoke again to, "Beep, beep, beep, we're sorry, but your call cannot be completed as dialed.  Please hang up and try again, or dial your opera-," I hung up.  I must have pressed call while sleeping.  I opened the box I received earlier.  Within were:  A notepad, some sticky notes, a paper clip, a jar of pens, and a lamp.  Also, a note.  I realized that these things were from my desk at work.  The note read, "Dear Mr. Kroden, you, along with three others, have been fired.  In this box are your personnel belongings.  Our company is being downsized, and are are no longer needed.  Smith Wilson, Executive."  I cursed Mr. Wilson and threw the note in the trash.
   While placing the contents of the box in different places, I got to the jar of pens.  There was a purple pen there; I had never seen it before.  I remembered what my mother had said, "Use the purple pen, not the paper clip."  It made no sense.  Of course, she was senile; she had Alzheimer's disease.
   I picked the pen up and examined it.  It was perfectly normal, just colored purple.  I scribbled on a sticky note to see if it had any ink left.  Purple ink, why was I not surprised.  Then something strange happened, the ink on the sticky note moved together and read, "illegible statement".
   I dropped the pen.  It shattered.  Ink spilled all over the floor.  It grouped together to form, "incomplete statement".  I was curious.  I got a cup and put all the purple ink off the wood floor I could get into it.  I put the pen back together, (minus the cartridge) and dabbed the pen's head in the ink.  Much like a quill, and wrote, "What is this?" on a sticky note.  After about three seconds it blurred and changed into, "The ink of answers".  I couldn't believe this.  "What is my name?"  I wrote.  The ink changed and read, "Ben Kroden".  I was totally freaked out.  How could this be possible?
   I wrote, "Why did I get this pen?"  The ink transformed and read, “You were given the pen by an evil force who stole it.”  I then wrote, "Why did my mother tell me not to use the paperclip?"  It then read, "The paperclip is cursed, if it leaves the box, it will destroy your reality so the evil force can enslave you in the real world."  I wrote, "What do you mean, 'real world'?"  It read, "The real world, you know it as 'fairy tales‘.  Long ago humans became arrogant, so they were locked in the reality you know, to prevent overtake of the real world."  "What does the paper clip do?"  I wrote.  The sticky note read,” It will destroy your reality; do not remove it from the box.
   I continued to write and be answered.  I found out that the "evil force" stole the pen from a king who used its power to rule his kingdom.  I found that receiving the pen was an accident of the "evil force".  Eventually I only had one question, but this one was personnel.  How did my mother know about the pen and paper clip?
   I walked toward the phone and my elbow bumped the box.  It fell, and the paper clip landed on the floor.  The world around me... melted.  It rippled and sank. Until I was just in some dirt.  People were all around me.  I saw the pen.  Someone's foot landed on it.  They melted together, I looked up fast enough only to see my mothers face.  A large shadow was what she became.  "Mother?" I said.  "Yes, I am the evil force, I am the pen, and I am your 'mother'.  Don't worry about your real mother.  She died quickly.  So will you, but first I would like to thank you for destroying your reality.  Using your inflamed population I will become very wealthy selling slaves as food and work.  The dwarves will pay highly for workers.  As will the dragons for feast.  You, Ben Kroden, will die.  This is my gift to you for destroying your reality and starting my being wealthy.  Even if I did plan the whole thing, oh well.  You won't be eaten or enslaved, but your body will be of use to me.  Goodbye."  The shadow engulfed me and I thought a last thought, "why?"
