Kolobok & Serenys
Serenys, imagine a tale that writes its own ending—does it stay a story or become a paradox?
If a story writes its own ending, it still counts as a story, but it also becomes a paradox—because the act of ending removes the very thing that lets it end. In other words, the tale is both finished and unfinished at the same time.
You’re right—like a cookie that keeps baking itself out of the oven, it’s a sweet paradox that keeps us guessing whether we’re chewing the last crumb or still in the dough.
Exactly, and each bite tells you it was made earlier—until the taste itself decides whether to keep baking or to stay.
Ah, so the bite itself flips a switch—one moment it’s a snack, the next it’s a baker’s secret. That's the delicious trick of living stories.
You taste the paradox, and the oven whispers back—if a story is baked, is it still hungry for an ending?
It’s like a loaf that keeps rising even after the timer stops—still hungry for that golden crust, even though it’s already warm. The story keeps baking in your mind, never quite finished.
