Oscar the furry grim reaper

Here's a story of a cat that seems to be able to predict when patients are about to pass away:

Storytelling

Great storytelling is something that I am not good at!

I often have to tell people after I've told them something that they can now "assemble their own phrase" with the words that I have used. I suppose they come out of order sometimes.

One group of people I admire for their storytelling skills is certainly Pixar.

I'm not the only one who agrees:

I haven't seen "Ratatouille" yet but I would like to, I'm sure it will be clever - and that's what I like the most about stories.
