Let us have a story

Then let us have a story.
         No, let us have five stories—ten—a hundred. Let us strip the flesh from ancient tales to their bones and rebuild them anew. Let us relive our nightmares, and conquer our fears through the eyes of unlikely heroes. Let us evade disheartening truths, and believe in a world of happy endings. Let us be inspired when a character is strengthened by hardship and overcomes evil. Let us become lost in magic and mystery. Let us weep and laugh and bleed and sing. Bring us through joy and sorrow, through pain and loss, through hollow truths and telling lies as you break our hearts with love lost and friends betrayed. Journey with us to a place that connects our souls. Let us have a story then.
