I was struggling to find something to disagree with. 8^)  But of course, I 
found it.

A story is not (purely) imaginary nor a (mere) reformulation of past 
experience.  I think it's part-and-parcel of consciousness, whatever that is.  
We tell ourselves stories all the time, big and small ones.  Is there a 
difference between a dynamic story and a static story?  [Non]Linear stories?  
Multiple story tellers versus an omniscient third party narrator?  Interactive 
versus passive? [†] Yes, of course.  But they're still stories.

[†] Bandersnatch was interesting: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9495224/
