Storytelling

"He was always such a nice boy -"

"Yes, such good manners, too..."

"-Well, what happened to him, again?"

"Oh you know... that girl."

"Oh yes. Tsk tsk. What was her name again?"
"Ah, let's not dwell. Let's just call her what she was - trouble."

I've been thinking a lot about storytelling and sequence, lately. About when it's important to give information, and when a lack of information makes everything more titillating. About how to make new again the stories we all already know, but still love to hear and tell over, and over again.
