And they do it with such a straight face!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSometimes the story's presented with a chuckle and we know another fiction is on the way: \"did you hear the one about ...\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd, sometimes, just sometimes, there's a story parading as nought but itself - a clear fiction - and you're in it. The real, non-fictional you. That's why the authentically fictional stories - fables, proverbs, legends - outlast us all and are told down the centuries ... we're in them; parading our best and worst, our most silly and most sublime. The universality of stories is the unity of humans. We're all strangely, uniquely alike and we can all see - if we so choose - our reality in the unreality we closet ourselves with round the fireside, in schools, churches and pubs and in our quiet, solo moments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStories are the comforters we carry in our hearts and minds and our own particular stories are the way we initiate and create friendships and relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese stories, my friend, are my offering of friendship and may they provide balance, smiles, tears and insight when no other exist for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip J.
