The Fourth Wall Breaker

Summary:

I walked through the leafy forests of Germany, only this wasn't really Germany. I knew full well that this was a fictional universe, that the events that happened here would have no effect on the world in which I live. Because this world only exists within a movie. But here I was, the fourth wall breaker, standing as the only real person in the whole of this fictional world.

Chapter Text

I walked through the leafy forests of Germany, only this wasn't really Germany. I knew full well that this was a fictional universe, that the events that happened here would have no effect on the world in which I live. Because this world only exists within a movie. But here I was, the fourth wall breaker, standing as the only real person in the whole of this fictional world. A few minutes ago I had been riding dragons over Hogwarts, but I left that reality almost as quick as I had entered it, as it became apparent that my presence would ensure a dark lord victory.
My thoughts were interrupted, when, in the distance, I saw it, a light. The house of one Dr. Josef Heiter. This was my destination. In the real world my friends had dared me into watching this movie, only a few days ago. They say it's easier to enter a universe when the memory of it is fresh in your mind. I'm not sure of the technology behind all of this, but from experience I know it's true, you should wallbreak as soon as you've seen a movie, to make sure the universe is generated without error. After this, you can return to your personal 'universe' at any time you like. After the technology was developed, the amount of people who would rather escape into a fictional world than face the real one ensured a worldwide economic collapse. In turn, this lead to more escapism. I sighed as I knocked on the door. I was here to escape from my reality, not to muse about it.
"Hello!" I said as I knocked on the door.
"Ah, hallo," replied a man with a thick German accent. If this was the real world, I would have ran far, far away from this man, but this was fake. Fictional. Nothing could harm me here. Could it?
"Are you... alone?" he asked.
I nodded, "Yes, I am... my car... um... broke down. May I come in?"
"Why yes, of course," he said, beckoning me in.
I went into the house and sat on the sofa. This was what I had came to do. My friends had dared me into this, just like when they had dared me to watch the movie.
