There are stories all over the world
To be approximate about 7 billion
These stories come in all shapes and genres
Some short
Others long
Some adventurous
Others sad and moving
Some have ink cover to cover
Others have only the author's name
Most are unread
Little are known
Various are forgotten
Small are carried on
Many are black and white
Few are colorful
And in this world today
Ink seems to be running out
More stories are written in black and white
Less are in color
And all stories are being written shorter
Until everyone suddenly stops reading
And that becomes the end of books
In turn the end of stories
In turn the end of everything
