A single story is like masturbation.
It's a waste of time.
Two stories combined is like a husband and wife making a baby by making love.
It's generative, and fruitful.
One story cannot hold an audience's attention for 2 hours.
Any great story contains TWO stories, not one.
The two stories dovetail into one mega-story, like a husband and wife being One Body, the whole being exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.
Like a braided rope held tight, the two stories both lead directly to your moral proposition, expressed in a solid ending.
