Stories are not exceptional by their nature. There are plenty of daily routines and ceremonies carried out throughout the day that operate on an intrinsic and perhaps unconscious level.
What you see as uncommon is an event that breaks the regularly scheduled narrative but there is more to storytelling than entertaining novel experiences.
Stories are not anomalies. They guide us through almost every action we take. We are creatures of narrative and constantly hear, tell, act out and create stories, calling them either fact or fiction depending on the circumstance.
