tug of war and tell me a story

1. A black dog is playing tug of war with her leash. The older gentleman holding on doesn't look too impressed, but the dog is having the time of her life
2. I duck through the coffee shop door and enter into a night of story telling. An unexpected and beautiful evening unfolds, as we listen to ordinary folks telling stories about dancing with pimply teenagers, sharing Toblerone chocolate bars with drug dealers on Christmas Eve, and telling an Inuit man how to dress for the winter.
