Stranger Than Fiction

Harold Crick, an agent for the Internal Revenue Service, lives his life by his watch. He begins hearing the voice of a woman omnisciently narrating his life but is unable to communicate with it. Harold's watch stops working and he resets it using the time given by a bystander; the voice narrates, "little did he know that this simple, seemingly innocuous act would result in his imminent death". A psychiatrist attributes the voice to schizophrenia, though they consider that if there really is a narrator, he should visit an expert in literature. Harold identifies the voice in his head as author Karen Eiff
