(1.) A script in our heads that directs how we see ourselves, and in turn, how we perceive and interact with our world.
Everyone has a memory and an environment, but how we make sense of our experiences, and react to them, is unique. That's our story. That's our personal script.
(2.) A description of how something happened (or evolved), based on a particular point of view. This context includes biographies and major historical events, but also interpersonal accounts of every day events.
(I.E. "You'll never guess who I saw at the grocery store today Sara."...)
(3.) Fictional Writing that serves as a source of entertainment. And (many times) uses that entertainment wrapping, to speak truths in a more palatable way.
One example:
-The way Charles Dickens used the guise of entertainment to make English society care about the plight of children, (even among the wealthy elite, who wouldn't be caught dead reading a book on child labor, abuse or neglect.)
Charles Dickens Novels succeeded where impersonal statistics and pamphlet propaganda could not. Because he entertained people with his stories, didn't tell them what to think, and created tangible characters readers felt they knew and wanted to root for. This is how he made the plight of abused orphans and child factory workers compelling enough, people wanted to make it their problem.
Another example:
- The way Science Fiction shows in the U.S. (like the Twilight Zone) were able to broach political topics on TV, no one else could get away with at the time, thanks to some insane censorship laws....and no one taking fictional stories seriously. (Cold War Era).
If you want to open closed minds, avoid censorship, or speak truth to an oppressive government, hide your message in a fictional story.
Somethign that is decent and not trash. Whatever addison describes as story is probably wrong.

Abbreviation of "that's the story". Used by Fred Dagg (John Clark), New Zealand comedian, now living and mirth-making in Australia. This expression may well have been common amongst numerous kiwis in the 70's, although it's current usage seems to rest with Fred Dagg junkies.
"G'day Bruce. How're they hangin'?"
"Perpendickular."
