Have you heard? Rumors buzzing around, running rampant. Recommendations passing from one person to the next. The grapevine.

Storytelling began as part of an oral tradition, with people exchanging their stories, lessons, morals, jokes, and lies to the next person, who shared it with the next person, and so on, and so on. So, why don’t you humor us with some words from your own mouth… or pen… or keyboard?
