This is the essence of the transaction between storyteller and audience. The 'true' story is not the one that exists in my mind it is certainly not the written words on the bound paper that you hold in your hands. The story in my mind is nothing but a hope the text of the story is the tool I created in order to try to make that hope a reality. The story itself, the true story, is the one that the audience members create in their minds, guided and shaped by my text, but then transformed, elucidated, expanded, edited, and clarified by their own experience, their own desires, their own hopes and fears.
