I am the Narrator. I am the Producer. I am the Animator. I am the Special Effects Artist. I am the Director. Business Partner.

I am the behind-the-scenes.

Let me explain.

People have a 'narrative potential energy' which is how involved in a story they are. Some people have a high energy and are side characters in multiple stories, or are main characters and villains. Those with lower energies play a continually smaller roll until you get to zero.

I have a negative energy. I don't participate in the stories, I don't control anything about them. I only control how the public sees them. I am the one who edits the movies with those cuts, the only one on this godforsaken planet to work the stories to that they're used for their intended purposes. I am the one who tracks the jail cell of the antagonist for that last interview, the one who uses satellite imagery to figure out when that alien invasion will arrive.

I am the only person who can break the fourth wall properly. Not just say 'hi' to the news cameras, but control my breach. Replace things. Edit things. The number of times I've diverted nuclear war is too many to count.

I am the one who founded a very public SCP Foundation to make sure that millions don't die in monster attacks. I am the one who founded a very public Quantum Team, both the Disaster Prevention and Research Laboratories wings, to make sure people don't die. This planet is alive thanks to my efforts, and all the recognition I get is nothing, compared to every last being on this planet.

But today, today I met another Editor. We walk differently, see the world in a different light. We are not caught up in the stories each city tells one after the other. We see the world for what it really is, and try to fix it. We talked, apparently he came to add me to his cell so that way he has someone to call if his personal life gets in the way. We have a network of us Editors. The unintentional, unwanting controllers of the world.
