> Narrative vs. Story
> 
> “Narrative” is a “future-story” fabricated with an intention, often being used to direct expectation and action of the masses.
> 
> “Story” is “what happened” either as a result of executing a narrative with intended or unintended outcome.
> 
> What happened needs verification to believe. The not-yet-happen needs a narrative to align people’s expectation and action.
