Writing a story

Writing a story I don't really write about a true story but about an alternative story, or better an invented story that coming from a real episode. For example two eyes crossing me or listening to a phrase between two person seated in a restaraunt table near us.
Sometime happens that the alternative story became true, not exactly true but true enough. This is not magician but probably the desire that something happens and when we wish to something, sometime, somewhere it may happen.
Maybe is like the tree falling far away. We don't look at it and so for what we know we don't hear if it's really fall but for the tree the perspective is very different. It is really fall. So there are three subject in a story. The writer, the story subject and the reader. The first one knows if the tree is really fall or no. The tree knows if it fall or not. The reader will never know the true but more the writer will be good more the reader will believe at the story also if he knows the story is just some words written one after the other.
So if I tell you that I've known a beautiful young girl and she's fall in love by me and we are going to live in a great house near the moon you read and will be very sad for the poor trees used to make the paper for what I've written because looking at a photograph of mine or my age or the fact I am pimply and dirty this will sound far-fetched but if I begin the story telling you that I live in a great town and every one meeting me hit me on the head because my face remember him a man that was very bad for him and my girl friend dump me because she have found a baskeball team a she has decided to have a meeting whit everyone of them and my chief has gave me a letter to comunicate me that there are nomore money and I have to leave my seat immediatly, you will believe it cause the story seems faithful and appropriate to the idea you have of a common man, like I am.
Probably also because the second one is more interesting then the first story unless that I write in the first one a lot of shot of sex.
You have surely notice that I've lost the original idea but that's the true reason why I write. I write to explicate my personal ideas so I've started from plausibility and I've arrived to understand that we couldn't care less about plausibility if there are enough sex.
