Can a story save your life?

I was completely unfamiliar with any of these stories, so they hadn‘t lost their power to shock & (sometimes) entertain. I learned about embedded narratives, which is essentially a story within a story within a story.

These are ancient tales, reflecting ancient ideas. Life and especially limb are held quite cheaply, and the racism and sexism are absolutely rampant.

So many amputations!

Thanks again, @SerialReader

Erinsuereads This is a thoroughly entertaining review 🤣🤣 3y
Libby1 @ErinSueMreads - thanks! I struggled to condense my ideas and couldn‘t get away from all the amputations. Lips? 🤯 👄🩸 3y

1. Perfect. Sun shining, not hot, not cold, NOT WINDY! Watching the kids play while I read and enjoy a Marble Brewing Cholo Stout. The best name and can art I‘ve seen in a while. 😂
2. Biased non-fiction
3. Sightsee, find some local diners and breweries.
4. Stucco. I think the technical color is soapstone or Navajo white.
5. The tagged one!
