[@shylarah] I already murdered the decoy antihero, remember? And then I had another decoy protagonist, who disappeared from the scene when the actual protagonist chased God into the void and wound up following a Moroccan trading caravan a couple thousand miles away.

And the actual [i]actual[/i] protagonist, who narrates all this, has already commented that this is a story about the actual protagonist, the one now in Morocco.

Believe me, I'm not averse to murdering unnecessary characters. I just don't think the audience will buy it a third time.
