I guess one metaphor to use is that when someone writes a story, they may use a pen, ink and paper, or maybe a keyboard and a computer, but these devices are not the story, nor is the one who writes down the words, the story. The story comes to life through describing the environment and the characters, and how they all interact, but it matters to have just the right amount of detail. If a novelist would describe the environment the characters are interacting with down to every atom and every force working on every particle in that environment or the bodies of the characters, the story, the writer wishes to tell, would end drowned in the 'noise'. But if the writer fails to provide enough details, a reader would not be able to make sense of what is happening.
Every story relies on the right balance of information, and on the quality of the information as is pertains to the meaning within the story. And every story also needs a conscious reader, able to feel with the characters, follow the events, or otherwise the story will remain just words, never experienced by anyone other but the writer itself.

The most terrifying thought is not that there's MORE, that would be reassuring. Most terrifying thought is known as solipsism - Solipsism is the philosophical theory that only one's own mind is sure to exist. Originating from the Latin solus ("alone") and ipse ("self"), it asserts that the external world and other people's minds cannot be conclusively known and might merely be creations of your own consciousness.
