      Synopsis of Goethe's Faust is incorrectly stated. Faust bargained his soul for knowledge, NOT bodily pleasures.

      I believe this is incorrect presumption to say -“only humans are telling stories”.
      Elephants are grieving/morning dead family member’s bones scattered, even after years go by . Chimpanzees teach each other how to crack nuts with rocks or sticks. Chimpanzees also behave expressing symbolic thinking by building altars with rocks, by putting rocks into hollows of the trees. There might be more examples of animals referring to other space and time. Other space, and time, such as #past or #future. In general, in my opinion, animals don’t tell stories because animals exist perpetually in now moment. Humans are addicted to Not being in Now moment and constantly mind traveling, revising past and fantasizing about future. By doing so causing mental disorders to themselves

    I think the future of storytelling is for each and every one to become her/his own hero. To realise the importance of every action/inaction the choose to bring to reality. To become aware that their life is a story and they are the author . To care about themselves and others as parts of the same team: the humans.

    To answer to where literature or the story is heading,we need to understand trough billions of future minds,first they will need to deal with the adversities of today life and the new ones ,or the ones that will be created ,challenges will never end for us and them.
    We started to understand bit’s and pieces of brain,reality,space,micro cosmology ,the improvement of our species or decline could give some idea’s on that answer…

    Education is 1st.
    After you get a job, 1. save up 8 months rent.
    2.invest in your hobby from childhood (keep it as a secret)
    3. don’t buy clothing.
    4.cook home (fresh only)
    5. Look for “going out of business” opportunities. Life is a magic place. Take it ALL. No mercy. Party🎉on.
    Bogoslowsky
    Immortality is a state of the mind, achievable by clear mind-ness. Absolute clarity is necessary.
    Letting go all attachments, desires, wishes. Comprehending one solid concrete fact about “reality it is not solid”. Reality is a vibration.

    To understand people one must first understand predators. It has a seemingly invisible yet extremely simple explanation for everything. We have come far from nature.
