There is something magical about stories and storytelling. For a finite amount of time, a good story, will carry the reader (or listener) to an infinite number of destinations. The story will introduce the reader to imagined friends and foes of whom you would never cross paths with in this world of humdrum realities. The storyteller will laugh with you and cry with you, confuse you and enlighten you. And although the story, in its two-dimensional world, will never know you or remember you, the reader, the listener, you will never forget a good story.
