The Storyteller

By typo

I love stories. Hopefully you do, too! This is a substack devoted to stories: telling them, discussing them, imagining them, pondering them, dissecting them, debating them. Join the fun.

Two chapters in and it's compelling. Can't wait to see how it all connects. Also, as a bit of survivalist myself I did cringe at his incompetence. Deadfall traps my friend. Easy to set up and effective.

It’s good to have a functioning machine in times like these. It’s good to have a strong constitution when things start to change. I trust myself to persevere.
