Of Struggle and Story
by Josh Hatcher
What if the struggle was your story?
A life of comfort
And ease
Is a recipe for the kind of boring story
That puts children to sleep
Without dreams.
I’d rather have a story
Full of adventures
And victories
And rewards
And kingdoms
And dragons slayed
And beautiful princesses
And freedom won for captives
But those stories require
Dark nights
Evil Enemies
Lonely songs on cold nights
Terrible bone shaking fear
Long hard battles
Thunder and lightning
Fire and fury
Chains
Blades
Spiders
Fire breathing dragons
Yes, Good stories require struggles.
