Has anyone read this story before??
Once upon a time, there was a simple, self-aware Story. It went about its business in the town of Letters-on-the-Page, quietly sowing seeds that would be developed later. As inevitably happens, some chaotic words were introduced, disrupting the cosiness of Story’s existence. Things got steadily worse, despite Story’s best efforts.
In the middle, Story decided a different approach was needed. The experience had fundamentally changed it.
Nevertheless, those unsavoury words looked like they had the upper hand. Calamity! Then, just in the nick of time, everything was resolved in an obvious yet surprising way, paving way for… “The End”.

Great ending, Al. The End is almost as good as “And they lived happily ever after …”

Don’t be giving away all our secrets, AL. Or we’ll have to change the rulebook and then what are we left with? Driving off a cliff with the police chasing you…. Oh, hang on… 😉
