Humans do indeed love a narrative...start telling a story, particularly one with an unusual character(s) in an interesting situation, then stop telling it and see what happens...you'll be prompted: "Go on, what happened next?"....at our core I think we're very hungry for knowledge, and eventually the closure provided when a story comes to a satisfactory ending... For the majority of our time on the planet the oral tradition was all that was available to us... I think the simpler the elements of a story are--e.g., good vs evil, good eventually wins, etc., (easily remember-able) the greater the odds are that it will be passed down through generations, or the ages, with changes and embellishments...
