A Story Is Waiting

Here, the place.

Now, the time.

You, the person who will become the main focus, almost the hero of the tale. It is strange to talk of heroes in this day and age, outside of tabloid land - that place where heroes – and, of course, villains - are created on an almost daily basis.

But, look over there. There is a story waiting to happen, waiting to begin. All it needs is you. It is waiting for you to go over to it. It needs you. And you, what are you without a story? You are just a mere character that has no shape and no form without the story to sculpt you.

We all need our stories to shape us, to define us, to create us. Without our stories to support us, we are nothing, no-one and nowhere.

Without us our stories will die. They need us. A story without its central character is no story at all, and it knows it. It is merely description, and empty at its heart. It needs its character and that character needs its story.

All our lives are narratives, with a beginning, a middle, and then an ending. A story that can be told, a story that can be read. A story that can live on, but only if there are other people who will make room for it in their own stories.
