History

Hi, story!
His story.
His store.
Hissed.
Hissed or missed.
Mist story, mystery. My story?
Stories of stories stored in the story store.

H. Aitch. Ache. Ache + I = story.
Aye. Eye to my eye. I as in is. (Ms, not his.)
Who tore the story?
Y?

Thorny, hissy.
Restore the story. His.
Hiss.

Return to hi.
Hi, story!
Repeat when necessary.

It’s always necessary.
