The Story of William: An Introduction

This is the story of a particular story. It was named after the hero of the story, the poor boy whom the story was about, and so the story follows the hero of the story through his birth, life, and untimely death. This story is like no other story ever told by a storyteller ever... ever. And this is the story of that story.

It all began one dark and wintr'y day, when the wind was harsh and the crows were swooping to the ground, and one boy, by the name, the fateful name, the accursed name of WILLIAM stood out in the elements, seemingly alone. But he was not alone. William was never, ever alone... ever. He was watched, you see, by your faithful narrators; and so, these narrators decided to narrate a narrative, a story, a story about a boy, a story about William. And what you are about to read...

... Is that story.
