A story opens a space.
An explanation sets limits.
A story empowers.
An explanation tells how those powers are to be used.
Neither are true. Each wants to be true but neither will ever reach the exact place.
‘Bull’s eyes’ are safe. We keep trying, although those of us who know their way around words are aware how elusive truth is.
The downside of the whole thing being that words, ‘storied’ words, might kill.
As in actually! And uselessly…
Unless accompanied by a valid explanation, of course.
