A story.

What exactly is a story?
There are stories after stories, with all the colours of the real. Colours that elude us in life, but condense with a stark reality in a story, or in a photograph.

If there is life, then there is a story. Some of the best writers left the world only after creating immortal stories that ‘live on’ long after they passed on.

What is life? And what is a story? Which is the nail, and which the flesh? Both are textured like a dream. Only if you enter the dream can you wake up. But then, only if you sleep, you can dream!

We’re of such stuff as dreams are made on.

And our little lives are rounded with a sleep.
said Shakespeare.
We absorb and ingest the lines with a fresh pain.
