This is fiction. A story about fiction. Story of today's fiction, the virtual world of today. A story of a man within today's phenomenon of the 'media society' with all its values, behaviors, desires, loves....where content and functioning are described in a form of a traditional medium - literature. Apparently, fiction has internal duplicity because it does not depend upon a single event. It is a parallel world of more possibilities and different rules but ultimately printed from one original - the original of our world. Fiction has a dual structure, molded by different fictional character figures and different capabilities of separating action. In the end, one of the possible actions will be crystalized with elements of reality. If we introduce two narrators with two different stories, we get a simulation. A destructive game of simulation by simulating which needs to be understood and experienced with all the elements of constructive reality and with the understanding of models of reality for each of the narrators with all of their combinations.
