Whale of a Tale.

There are good stories out there.
There are good stories in here. The problem is capturing the stories.
Finding words and phrasing and proper punctuation.
I love listening to stories on the radio.
Voices that crumble at the sad parts, and laugh a little when the
story gets embarrassing.
I have a friend who spins amazing yarns. He knows they're good
stories, but he won't write them down.
There is something so comforting and wholesome about a good story
telling. Kindergarten without pictures, but maybe there will be
snacks.
Mark Twain had a huge mantel over his fire place. It was filled with
pictures and objects, all lined up along it. On one end there was a
painting of a cat, and at the other end, a picture of a girl.
To tell stories to his children, they would start at one end and weave
a tale involving every object on the mantel, until they reached the
other side.
I love that story. You can imagine it.
But then, it was Mark Twain; the best spinner of yarns...ever.
