Stories

Generally, when we think of fiction we think of short stories or novels, not poetry. But narrative poetry isn't above stealing a trick or two from its brethren - especially when that theft can bring us closer to Truth.

Fiction, you see, isn't really make-believe. Fiction is about life and people, and all good fiction has a lesson or two for us to learn. And so it is with these narrative poems, based on fiction but reflecting life.
