    Everyone loves a good story. Storytelling is a hallmark of the human race! It is a cultural activity, common to every known culture across the world. When we get together with friends and family, we tell stories. We discuss recent and past events, and share humor, suspense, anger, sadness, joy, fear, and more.

Storytelling is timeless and limitless.
