My name is
Perhaps you know me well. Perhaps I [[Omnipresent Tropes|need no introduction]]. Perhaps you've even used me once or twice. But chances are you have seen me before, a silent face in the crowd, never guessing my true nature, never knowing what I really am. I'm here today to tell you everything I know, before it's too late. They're coming for me. By the time you get this message, I might already be dead. [[Posthumous Narration|I may even already be dead right now.]]
Line 8:
I'm not telling you this because I want credit for my story, but because my story needs to be told. Just trust me when I say that you need to listen to me. You need to know the truth. It may save your life, even if it can no longer save mine. Because it could happen to you. It could happen to anybody.
The next time you hear a character dramatically and poetically introduce themselves at the start of a story, begging you to listen, remember me. Remember who I am, and remember everything I am about to tell you. Time is running short. They're coming for me. They want to silence me. This is my last stand.
If the the story that I am about to tell is not truly mine, and I am telling the story of another person who is the main character of the story, I would be a [[First-Person Peripheral Narrator]].
