Origin Story: Collecting Story-Borne Artefacts

The “cut into pieces” aspect of the threat facing the two damsels in distress also seemed off. Such primeval savagery outside Russia-occupied Ukraine only existed inside story-borne artefacts of Russia’s Disinfolklore Propagation Apparatus (which it was, in the manner of a nineteenth century Antiquarian folk-tale collector, my job to gather together, analyse and parse into patterns that helped us understand the security threats facing us on the front-line). It wasn’t real.

“Story-borne artefacts” — this is the precise term. The Apparatus produces not data, not facts, but stories. And the author’s method for analysing them was borrowed from the nineteenth-century folklorist tradition.
