EXAMPLE:
Billy: Hello, Max.
Max: Hi Billy
Billy: Have you heard about Tralfamadore?
Max: No, what’s that?
Billy: It’s a planet that i was taken to.
Max: oh really?
Billy: yes, it is millions of lightyears away from earth but the trip there and back would sometimes only take me 10 minutes
Max: thats unreal
Billy: yeah it really is, the people on tranfamadore are green and have huge shafts that point upward
Max: thats messed up dude are you forreal?
Billy: yes, and they brought out a moviestar named montana wildhack for me to get it in with
Max: nice dudee! but i still dont really believe you
Billy: well you can choose to believe what you want, but i know that it happened because ive gone back there many times and montana is there with our child and he gets older everytime i go
Max: Thats great, but why are you telling me all this?
Billy: im trying to teach you that there are other planets are out there and that you should never doubt the fact that other life forms could exist, because you never really know.
Max: hey again billy
Billy: whatsup?
Max: nothing really, tell me another story i really enjoyed the last one about the tralfamadorians
Billy: oh what a great idea, ill tell you about my experience in world war 2, i was one of the only survivors of the Dresdon bombings.
Max: thats crazy i heard that bombing was one of the worst, how did you survive?
Billy: well i was a prisoner of war and i was put in an underground bomb shelter with 100 other soldiers and a few guards when the bombing took place. it was truly amazing when we got out, the whole city resembled the moon, all destroyed with no signs of life as far as we could see.
Max: im so sorry you had to go through that, but im also so greatful that you survived
Billy: yeah, i guess i got lucky but surviving really taught me that you cant take anything, especially life for granted.
(phone rings..)
Billy: hello?
Max: hey billy its max
Billy: its 1:30 in the morning, why are you calling me?
Max: i couldnt sleep, i figured you might have a story from your life that could take me away and help me fall asleep.
Billy: ok but this is the last time im ever telling you a story, got it?
Max: ok ok it better be good!
Billy: ok so this story takes place in the war aswell, it was when i was traveling across germany in the POW trains. It was a disgusting place, there were so many men in each boxcar there was barely room to lay down, we passed around a helmet in order to go to the bathroom.
Max: wow, go on!
Billy: theres not a whole lot left to the story but one of my crewmates from battle died on that train ride and many other men died and got sick, it was probably the hardest time of my life, i had to sleep standing up, surrounded by death. but as you can see im still alive and imn back in a house with a wife that loves me. what this story says to me is that no matter how shitty life may be, theres always something good right around the corner, and you just have to tough it out and get there.
Max: thank you billy, you really are an amazing storyteller, goodnight!
Billy: goodnight max.
