Stories are a sacramental medium: “Stories hint that our taken-for-granted realities may, in fact, be fraught with surprise. There are ‘rumors of angels’ and grace abounding in our world. If a frog might be a prince, a lost sailor an angel, a pilgrim the Christ, then all of creation may be a sacramental presence pointing to ‘Something More.’”632 Furthermore, since most stories told by humankind have positive resolutions, we often emerge from the world of narrative with renewed hope.633
