stories

Written By Sofya Yuditskaya

let me tell you how to tell stories

how to weave a tale

the legend of Scheherazade is watered down

to say she was spinning the yarn of fate to keep the chance of an unkind from murdering her is too trite

the art of the tale is seeing the other

the ultimate other

man

and tell him something he wants to hear

something real 

something he can really believe in

or be enchanted by

something enticing

the affairs of women are about creation and destruction

life, madness, love, and death

hedonism and sympathy
