Uniqueness can only exist in a bubble. Some tribe in Africa who's never been touched by the real world, may have unique stories - perhaps about constellations with different names than we've ever heard or some other weird concept. E.g. the Mayan Calendar was unique to the Mayans. The more dispersed we become, the more global (cats out of the bag on that), the more we are just a hodgepodge of our experiences. Its literally impossible to write something that hasn't been written before, either fully, or just by mashing maybe 4 different stories together. Even back in Shakespeare's day this was very true the majority of his work - and even the words he contributed to the English language were actually taken from Greek/Roman plays, and ideas and their language. Art imitates life imitating art imitating life, etc.
