Tell me a story
One that takes me away from myself
One that reconfigures reality
One that dislodges, defrosts, and disarms me

Tell me a story
One that I can occupy, inhabit, and go back
and visit
One with characters who enchant, enrich
and fascinate
One with the power to make me care
desperately how it turns out.

Tell me a story
One that takes me away, far away,
to another realm and plane of existence.
One that makes me shudder, gasp and sigh.
One that I can sink my dreams into.

I’m listening.

Tell me a story
